Plan for Restoration

From the very beginning it has been clear that our motto is to keep our Beetle as close to the original as possible. Therefore also all restorations are done in a way that first we will try to use the original parts, and if that is impossible we will try to find eighter an old similar part or to purchase a new equivalent. Also the body paint color and interior will be remained as they are. the only thing that we will add is another side mirror to the left side as we've discovered it to make the driving in the traffic much easier and safer.

The overall plan is:

1) Repaint the body and the rims
2) Fix the stepping boards
3) Replace the rusted bottom plate with a new one
4) Overhaul the engine
5) Check and fix the electrics
6) Rechrome the front bumper
7) Replace some of the damaged parts with new ones
8) Repaint some parts of the interior (gear shift, hand brake, metal frames of the seats, ...)
9) Clean and polish
