1966 Athens, Greece
 

Hi everyone.

Even though i have been a member of this great forum for some time, i have never gotten around to introduce my Pearl White '66.

I bought it in 1999 at an auction from the Greek State. It was in good shape, but the previous owner had changed the front fenders to upright headlights, the bumpers to square ones, the taillights to Superbeetle and had closed the holes in the front apron (where the export bumper supports stick out).

After remedy of all the above the car looked like this :

In some of the pictures you will notice that the front rims have changed to 4x130 bolt pattern. This was because we changed the front end to disk brakes. I believe that if you use a Beetle as a daily driver it is necessary to upgrade to disks.

In December 2003 some lady ignored a stop-sign. I T-boned her Toyota with about 60 kmph. The result can be seen here:

And a closer examination of the damage:

Since then many things have changed - the birth of my first and my second daughter, different job(s) and some personal stuff. Anyway, it was not until 2009 that i took the car out of the garage and decided to fix it. I am currently working on a new Photoalbum that documents what has been done and how it turned out. I will post the result soon.

Thks for looking
