Fantastic job Mr Beardo. Interior is my fave.
All it needs is lowering a little bit I think

Cheers guys. I have considered lowering it but there are speed humps where my wife works so probably not such a good idea. The Beat on the left in the background is getting fixed up and then getting sold on to a friend. The one on the right is a breaker, but I do have a crazy plan for the shell one day.

The initial Pininfarina design team would welcome your efforts to accent the lines or flow. Really sweet.

One comment: consider an aggresive black mesh for the 3 cavities in the front bumper

With number plate fitted to it in the centre vent, so the plate looks like its floating there.

No such thing as to many pictures!: Thanks for posting them! (right click, save as, right click, save as, ext...:D )

You pretty much have a brand new beat now. Good job!
I agree with Mylee, the interior is smokin nice! Better than new!

Take care and enjoy you fine ride!!!:)

I will be putting some mesh behind the middle hole eventually. Went for a smaller number plate in that position to cover 2 holes in the bumper which I assumed were for mounting a plate.

brilliant. cant wait to finally see it in person!
mrs beardo must be very happy (even if it means she now has 2 more beats on the drive!)
