This is Jose's 1972 VW Bug type 1- it has a 1200 cc engine with electronic ignition and it was restored in 2008 at Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. He changed the back side windows to pop outs, changed the '71-72 tail lights for '67's (smaller) and added turbine rims to make it a bit sporty. The inside has electronic gauges and a stage one sound system.

I'm working on a 69 backdated to 60 with all the go fast parts I can afford. Full cage A-arm front suspension, wilwood 4 pistons on the front and 2 on the rear. All the paint metal and Everything done by my son, daughter and I. Great cars like this make me want to get back to the shop and get in another hour on my bug
Comment by jose on January 18, 2012 at 10:22pm thanks a lot every body... thanks powerblock guys for this nice surprise. this was an Oklahoma bug, second owner moved to houston on the early 80's and parked the car for several years. when i got the it was yellow and the engine was completely rotten (a 1500cc) i got a 6???? engine 1200cc and rebuilt it. i did the mechanical work, but the body work was done in ciudad Juarez, Mexico by a profesional bodyshop. (i took it there because of my budget, US $15000 only body - Mexico $4000 body, parts and interior). the rearview mirror is the original that was in the car, but i put a bigger one in front of the original to have a better view due that i don't have a mirror in the right door.
thanks a lot again for your comments guys, and thanks powerblock team...
