Beetle fever, Painting.

Well a lot is happening but nothing worth blogging about. After finally getting the nose cone out of the bubble wrap i found it dented 🙁 but a few hits with the rubber mallet popped it back out. but onto this weeks topic.

At the moment I’m working for my company as a contractor for the defence force here in S.A (It support), and i came across this dude in V.I.C who was playing around with spray painting pictures. I dropped him an email and asked if he felt up to the challenge of doing a beetle related pic. Next day i had an email from him containing two pictures entitled “Work In Process”;


I thought these were awesome, then on the Monday after the weekend i got a post letting me know he had finished the pictures, again with the two images included.

How awesome are they?

Anyway next issue find out how to get them from Vic to here without them breaking (they are done on MDF so could be easily broken).

Will keep you updated.

Cool pictures.

I have been busy(or lazy) as of late, taking a few pictures as i do things like installing the rubber seals on the bonnet and decklid (not fun), and cleaning up inside the beetle (the second beetle the original is on hold untill ig et some money together). These pics are after i have given it a nice clean…

Quick look inside  (even has the factory plastic on the door.) I really want to get the late seats in there i dont like these mini versions 😛 But it may be time to put some pics of beetles i have collected up on my trips around the internet (I did not make these, I either got emailed them or found them in my trips, no copyright infringement meant.).

Ying and Yang beetle was made by Square Sailor check out his other great work at deviantart here

Also have another video of the new beetle wobbeling without the muffler 😛 Gotta change spark plugs soon, just waiting for a good quality spark plug socket to rock up.
