This is my Monster Beetle runner - at least I hope so! You see, last time I got myself a Monster Beetle the result after restoring came out so great that I know my stomach would have turned inside-out if it got bashed. Of course you can run these vintage off-roaders gently, but that's no fun...

This project has really been taken care of by its former owner. He bought it new and the only thing broken is one of the windscreen wipers. The rims looks like new and the only thing I plan to do is to re-paint the body. (hopefully not as good as last time..then I end up looking for a third one..lol!)

All comments are welcome!

Thanks everyone! It does look ok in white (it's the original white body - not painted), but I'm planning to paint it in gold actually.
