Pictures of Dave's Rebuild Experience

~~~

Included in the following pages are a large number of pictures which document Dave's experience rebuilding his '73 Super Beetle. Rather than simply displaying all of the pictures chronologically (as I did originally), I have tried to organize them topically -- roughly in about the same way as is our Table of Contents (though I begin with Engine and Transmission). Please be aware that these pictures are not comprehensive by any means -- just pictures that were taken now and then during the rebuild process.

Associated with each picture is a very brief description; more detail can be found in the body of our Web page, of course (click on the "Search" button above). The pictures are quite small, so they are fast loading -- but you can enlarge any picture with a single click.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, or if you find broken links, please feel free to send a note to Dave at the address at the bottom of the page.
