Team-BHP - 1973 VW Super Beetle Monster Build off

Love the finished car. Excellent workmanship and attention to detail.

Let me share something I thought would be useful to you. Last time I visited Thailand, I saw a large number of modded VW bugs in immaculate condition in Pattaya. When I enquired with some people there about how they sourced spares, they all mentioned a place called Waruchak Market in Bangkok where spares and accessories are available for any car, any make.
This took me to Waruchak market the very next day and surprise, surprise. Headers, steering wheels, FFE, ICE, lights, Airfilters... thousands of them in the hundreds of stores. Paradise found.
Possibly, if you are looking for cheaper spares and custom equipment for the Bug, try this place out.
Just my 2 cents.

Sir,

The Delivery day was Today, lot of unforseen last minute niggles, But, by end of the day all troubles rectified, the car drove well without any issues and reached the owners house blassting all the way from my house -via Indian Express - M G road - Domlur- Koramangala:D Hence, could only take few pics, and this is all we could manage.

Hello Pavan , Thanks for those wonderful pictures of the Beetle. She looks absolutly stunning in that blue..! Kudos to you for your selection ..! We just loved the way it looked

Hello Pavan,
I am new to this thread but I have been following up on your wonderful restorations of the classic beetle cars. Kudos to you and your team for an excellent work done. Do post us on further updates on this thread. Me and my daugter are big fans of the beetle and would always like to own one.

That is one breath-taking Beetle, Sir.

The workmanship and attention to detail can make you think that this was commissioned by the boffins at Wolfsburg. Gute Arbeit!

Honoured by such a compliment sir.

Thanks, i actually dont own a workshop since i have my regular day job to attend, i outsource.:D But have 2 dedicated teams since the last few years who do my job with utmost sincerity.

This car restoration has come up in an excellent way. Congrats on the successful mission. Please also mention on what parts/engine needed manual modifications while fitting them. We had faced some issues on changing Gypsy petrol engine to Toyota Turbo diesel. This was quite long ago when engine conversion was allowed.

I have not done ANY Modification to anything, We have used all Original / Retro-Fit parts.
