From purchase to being on the road took three months. Since then bits have been added in a rolling resto style

Restoration Included:

2 pan halves
Complete new brake system
4 tie rod ends
4 shocks (colour coded)
Powdercoated tinware 
Powdercoated & chromed headlamp rims
Twin cannon exhausts (aluminium coated)
Respray in VW Dragon Green - (dark metallic green). 
Black & silver number plates
Rebuilt engine
New hood (see: recommended for information)

The  nasty arch extensions were removed and some cracks in the gell coat attended to. Not many bits were needed as it was complete when bought, but a donor '68 helped out as did the engine out of my 72 bug which was mid resto.
