Restoring a VW beetle- Projekt Spartacus.
A Thread.
My First car at 23 was a VW beetle named Dorothy.
Years later, I am restoring another. My daily driver is 210bhp. I want to experience 45bhp of the VW more!
After lots of scouting, I have finally found the one.

Pure niceness…
We went dumpster diving yesterday and came out with this straight fit VW rims.
We will dip them in paint remover to remove all paint. Use a grinder to remove scratches and some alum filler for the deep ones.
