Re: Trailmix Beetle

After Bruce installed the new CB Performance disc brake kit for the front, I decided that I wanted to find out what the car would look like with all black wheels. This is something I've struggled with because the wheels still had the original paint and I liked the way it looked. With new smoothie wh...

Re: Trailmix Beetle

We decided a couple of months ago to take the beetle to Indiana for a family reunion. I was excited for my mom to finally get to see it and go for a ride.

Re: Trailmix Beetle

Update: I bought some aluminum AEW wheels that I've wanted for a while. I just like the look. Unfortunately, the front wheels will not clear the bottom ball joints. As of right now, they are not usable. I would have to narrow the beam, install disc brakes and use a wheel spacer to make them work. Ri...

Re: Trailmix Beetle

Pics after the matte clear coat.
