hi there, i am relatively new to this site and i am not sure as to how you would reply.

well, to begin with i came across your article in india today's special edition "simply bangalore" and i simply fell in love with the beetles.

i recollect couple of names from that article-Mr.narendra raj and Mr.vikram aditya, though i dont know who is who from the picture. but its that article which prompted me to find out more about beetles and here i am at the end of my quest.
i am presuming you to be the same narendra raj as in that article-if i am wrong, please accept my apologies.
i also saw all your great pictures with the "beetles"
i must say, "Old is Gold"

i have some great pictures of cars but i dont know how to send them.
please guide me.

looking forward to your response,
warm regards
viju

Yep, noticed you got the bumpers back on last week

71Convertible · 12th January 2008, 20:38

Got a quite a bit of stuff done.

Rebuilt the carb, adjusted valve clearances, did the timing. I reupholstered the drivers seat in the original black basket weave. Just started on the pass side this evening. Will finish it tomorrow.

I need to get the wheels aligned and balanced. Any recommendations of good placed near whitefield/marathahalli/ring-road or even Indiranagar?

Thx,
Byas
