1978 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE CABRIOLET (CONVERTIBLE) 7 YEAR OLD PAN UP RESTORATION

7 years ago I restored this 1978 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE CABRIOLET to present it to my Mom for her birthday. With that being said I wanted it to be a special car so we started with a completely new pan that was treated with POR-15 before it was installed for protection against rust and corrosion. We then installed a NEW 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH. THE ENGINE AND FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WAS GONE THROUGH TO MAKE SURE MY MOM WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. We then PAINTED THE CAR WITH HIGH QUALITY SIKKENS PAINT AND WET SANDED IT UNTIL IT HAD A DEEP SHINE THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ A NEWSPAPER IN. We then added A COMPLETE BRAND NEW WHITE INTERIOR. A NEW WHITE CONVERTIBLE TOP (BOOT INCLUDED). BLACK GERMAN RUGS. A GERMAN BLAUPUNKT STEREO SYSTEM. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH AND UPDATED. A CENTER CONSOLE WAS ADDED AND RECENTLY A BRAND NEW SET OF KUMO TIRES WERE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED AT DISCOUNT TIRE AND ARE UNDER WARRANTY. NEW BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS INSTALLED AND UNDER WARRANTY AND A NEW BATTERY WAS BOUGHT FROM NAPA AND INSTALLED WHICH IS UNDER WARRANTY. There is no rust or corrosion on the car except for the inner fender liner on the driver side front fender but this is a bolt on part and not structural. You simply have to unbolt the front passenger fender (very easy to do) and replace the inner fender lining. The inner fender lining can be bought from a million different sources and it is a coated item that requires no paint. ALL THE TRIM AND GLASS ARE ORIGINAL AND IN FANTASTIC SHAPE. The car has HIGH DOLLAR CUSTOM WHEELS WITH BRAND NEW TIRES ALL THE WAY AROUND. The fuel injection system was retained and performs great. The front end was aligned and the rear end was leveled. new shocks were added and the car runs and drives great. When I gave the car to my Mom for her birthday I put the title in the glove compartment and she lost it and so I have to sale the car with no title and with a bill of sale. the car qualifies for a bonded title which is a simple process. My Mom lives in a gated golf community and she only drove it from her home to the country club and back and to her neighbors homes. it never left her gated community except for one time when my wife and I drove it from San Antonio Tx. to Fredericksburg Tx. and back on a day trip. The car performed flawlessly. The car has always been garaged and babied. As far as how beautiful the car is I will let the pictures speak for themselves. All the pictures were taken this week so what you see is what you get. This is a great car for a student or just as a fun second car. it is fun and dependable but if you don't like talking to strangers this is not the car for you because wherever the car goes it gets "thumbs up" and people want to talk to you about it. During the restoration I opted for a non stock exhaust in favor of a performance exhaust (MOMO I think) but it is not loud and obnoxious. it has a deep rich tone and is not "raspy" at all. The bumpers both front and rear are original and in great shape. the odometer shows 70. 79 miles and it is believed to be correct but it is not certifiable. Overall this car is a beautiful . dependable Classic Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet that demands attention and would be a perfect addition to anyones garage. The car was kept stock for the most part and will gain in value year by year. prices on classic Volkswagens have gone through the roof in the last couple of years and there is no end in sight. Don't pass this car up. you will regret it.
