Billy dropped his oval bug in for the rear to be truly slammed - other local VW specialists had tried and failed to get it all apart.. Narrowed beam next eh billy!?
Stuart's '61 came in for a 2" narrowed beam, CB drop spindles, wide 5 disc kit and a mild drop at the rear.. Now it stops like a bug should and is ready for a bigger motor.

Martin dropped by to give us his beetle beam for narrowing...The bus will be next

Jason and Lisa brought their bus in for the full underseal treatment, before we drop it a few inches.

Our year so far

It has been one hell of a summer. We have taken in plenty of shows, both in the UK and Europe as well as moving to new premises and of course slamming a few VW's. Check out some pics of our last European trip to Spa in Belgium.

New Vintage Werks Blog

This is our new Blog. The old blog took a lot of time to update, so we decided to change to an easier to use format.
Here are some pics of a previous project to whet your appetite... This 1965 Beetle was bought from a friend in Vienna, Austria with black plastic checks stuck all over it and a severe case of altitude sickness. The most important part was that it was rust free, never welded and had mostly original paint. Once driven the 1000 miles to England we hit it up with a 4" narrowed front beam, CB drop spindles and a 2 spline drop in the rear. We then removed the black stuff and fitted some Albert mirrors and an original 1965 interior...sweet.
