Thats how I got the car
11.000 DM was to much for a beetle in 1993. Today I could get the same amount in Euro

Original.
This ragtop beetle has never been welded and had the original paint. In 1993 it had made only 35.000 km.

Luckily the front decklid could be restored.

Preperation for repairs
I decided to repaint the whole car because I didn't want any differences in the painting.

rubyred runningboards
In the summer 2007 I gave the car rubyred runningboards. Some models had colored runningboards in the sixties. If the rubyred also had them, I could so far not find out. Who cares... I like it.
