Hello, Heres my 71 beetle with early wings and panels. Frenched rear lamps. all the handles have been shaved, and replaced with hidden catches and solenoids.

The interior has been matt blacked and the tunnel painted in Ford Imperial Blue (same as exterior).

The seats (front and back) are from a Rover 200 coupe, also managed to squeeze the rear interior panels in. home made front door cards.

Cheers for the compliments folks. As much as I like the wheels, I Think ill change them at some point. Though its not that easy trying to find nice looking 15x6J alloys (ford fitment).
