JO'S '69 KARMANN CAB BUG Today has been a Milestone - for many years I've wanted a beetle cabriolet and upon meeting Beetledave on Saturday a chance conversation mentioned that he was selling a Karmann Cab Beetle. So without hesitation - I went to view it the very next day. And I'm pleased to say that today is the day that I now own a Karmann Beetle Cabriolet  http://s428.photobucket.com/user/beetlesi/media/beetlesi180/69cab.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s428.photobucket.com/user/beetlesi/media/beetlesi180/69cab1.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s428.photobucket.com/user/beetlesi/media/beetlesi180/69cab2.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s428.photobucket.com/user/beetlesi/media/beetlesi180/69cab4.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s428.photobucket.com/user/beetlesi/media/beetlesi180/69cab3.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Thanks again Dave - I'm over the moon Jo |

If I am thinking straight and this is the Bug I think it is then here she is in 1999 before the long bonnet, sloping wings and blade bumpers were fitted. https://flic.kr/p/qMXY14" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/qMXY14" rel="nofollow - Kyle rod and custom show 1999 by https://www.flickr.com/photos/route9autos/" rel="nofollow - Dave Campbell , on FlickrI might have a picture somewhere showing the number plate but not sure and this was in the days of 35mm film photography so would need to dig the box of prints out.

Major surgery on the Cab today. A pillar replacement on the passenger side. Measure 5 times then chop it out. Using the amazing Hookys pillar repairs and the A pillar hookys door alignment tool - recommended by Ed.

TMI have let me down big time. For my New seat covers I was promised 8-10 weeks through VW Heritage. I have received the New Door cards after phoning constantly - but it's now 16 weeks and Heritage don't know the whereabouts or if they have been finished! The Cab is doing a wedding in under 2 weeks, so I've had to borrow Si's New seats and make a cover for the cab seats. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. Anyone thinking of using VW Heritage for TMI seat covers - I would urge them to find an alternative.  http://s428.photobucket.com/user/beetlesi/media/beetlesi001/dc8.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s428.photobucket.com/user/beetlesi/media/beetlesi001/dc9.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

A word of warning, make sure your insurance covers you for wedding hire, it seems the plod have had fun with people doing weddings and proms, as they had "private" insurance which specifically excludes hire and reward. Car looks good and the weather is certainly cabrio style, Ttfn Glenn ------------- If it ain't broke, fix it till it is. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem. Lack of funds is the mother of ingenuity |
