And the Beetle`s Story continues.....

After an intoxicated weekend full of drama its kind of hard to get back to the usual routine,But we all know that we just have to suck it up and move on with our lives.Now back to the fun side of life, the 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. I left you all last week with the body work primed and ready for paint. Choosing the body color for the Beetle seemed more difficult then expected, We were planing on spraying all the chrome bits Black as Re-chroming them would cost a hand and a leg in KL. Suddenly all at once it hit us, someone uttered the word Captain Purple and the color Metallic Midnight Purple was chosen.Below are the pictures of how our color was messed up and finally sorted out by our trusted mechanic who forgot that I mentioned the word METALLIC !... 
 

And finally .... Metallic....

And with a cool car we all need a cool Air - cond right !

Never forget to sort out the cars wiring when you are restoring an old classic.
Below are the new wiring (Some wires have been painted black thanks to my mechanic which forgot to anti-rust the hood but started fitting back some of  the new wiring.)

And our lovely Beetle was ready for a new home.She now had 4 new tires,refurbished brakes, new wiring harness, A complete new Air-conditioning system and a fresh coat of paint not to forget a fully anti-rusted body. She still needed new interior upholstery and some minor cosmetics to make her perfect but we rather the new owner sort those things out to his or her taste.We were happy that the Beetle was given a new lease on life, rather then being left to Rust in Peace. Once we were done totaling up the cost the Beetle was put up on the market for sale and the phones rang off the hook.

Both parties were happy that day  our lovely Beetle switched hands as the new buyer got a bargain and we managed to put some money back in our pockets.
