Someone is restoring my 67 Frannie!!!! Link to pics
OMG!!
I was just contacted by a guy in Finland, someone told him I once owned his newly bought 67 beetle... true enough! He wanted engine specs. My Frannie is alive! And WELL! Being restored right now!! Sadly, he painted it with a different color, but still.. the old girl is getting a new life Looks like it's been passed around a few times and some rust spots had emerged. Only minor changes from when I had it, and the engine I built for it is apparently still rockin Just a little 1600 with a mild cam, and two single 40mm carbs. I want to buy it back when it's done, LOL. Here are the pics: http://s201.photobucket.com/albums/a...ration%202011/ I'm sad and happy at the same time. I miss that damn car. Jan |

I told him to put the original lid back on, it's one of those things that make a 67 a 67.... (euro). It's a difficult car to restore if it's not all there, one year only parts and a cut-off year for body and electrical system... mine was all there except the 4-lug disc brake conversion and wheels. Oh I also converted it to 12V |

Sweet memories are worth hanging on to. As for my mind: if that's where it is, it would be nice if it was released and found it's way back to me, I haven't seen it in years. |
