Elevate your restoration with the structural integrity only a genuine German core can provide. This isn't a thin-walled reproduction — it's a heavy-duty, German-engineered front beam, meticulously stripped and rebuilt for the purist who demands safety and longevity.

Vehicle Fitment

  • Beetle (Type 1): 1966–1977 (ball joint front end era)

  • Karmann Ghia: 1966–1974

The Restoration Process

  • Precision Inspection: Every core is measured for perfect straightness and structural integrity before the process begins. If it isn't perfect, it doesn't make the cut.

  • Deep Cleaning: Beams are fully dismantled, washed, dipped, and media blasted to white metal.

  • Premium Finish: We use Cardinal Semi-Gloss Powder Coat, chosen for its high UV protection and extreme durability against road debris.

  • Leaf Pack Blueprinting: Both leaf packs are completely disassembled and cleaned. We wire-wheel each individual spring to inspect for stress cracks or chips. Only the "perfect" leaves are reassembled into the final pack.

Couldn’t be happier that Jelly’s are back!!
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Pink, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Pink
These are such fun little sandals for kids. The jelly style gives them a playful look, and they go with so many outfits. I love that they can be dressed up a bit or worn casually for everyday play. They’re super easy to clean, which is huge for kids’ shoes. Whether they get dirty outside or at the park, you can just wipe them down and they look good as new. They also feel sturdy and hold up really well with regular use. The fit is secure and they stay on without any issues, which is always something I look for in kids’ shoes. They’re comfortable enough for all-day wear too. Pros: Easy to clean, durable, secure fit, versatile style. This will sound weird but these shoes smell so good! Even my daughter thought so. Cons: None so far.

Fun Y2K Heels for Kids
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Glitter Pink, Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Glitter Pink
These heels are absolutely adorable and bring a real fun Y2K vibe, perfect for an older kid who wants to add some sparkle to their outfit. The main material is a soft, jelly-style plastic which feels quite flexible. It does have a distinct, strong scent, but it's not unpleasant at all; just something to note when you first unbox them. The color is a lovely pink with gold sparkles mixed in. While it has a slightly more orange hue than I expected from the photos, it still looks really cool and vibrant. What stands out with these is how surprisingly practical they are for heels. The heels themselves are thick and provide solid balance, and the traction on the sole is good, making them easy to walk and even be active in. The insole has some light padding, adding to the comfort. In terms of fit, they run a little small, so keep that in mind when ordering, though they were close enough. My only minor gripe is the buckle; it's a standard plastic and metal clasp that you have to fasten each time, which isn't quite as convenient as some other kids' shoes that use a faux buckle with velcro underneath. Despite that, they're a really cute and well-designed pair of shoes for a young fashionista.

Very nice but insanely expensive
I got mini melissa Possession Heel in March 2026. These are excellent and I agree with virtually everything about them in the product description. These are stylish, they do look great, and they are definitely versatile in different occasions ways you can use them. The color on the Glitter Dark Pink one I got matches the pictures quite well, and these shoes overall look great and feel great. I do not have anything negative to say about them. Well, maybe the price but I will talk about that below. As for the price, $90 for these feel insanely expensive. The Glitter Dark Pink is currently discounted to $53 and even that feels quite expensive. Obviously these are nice, but I personally would consider $30 to be a great deal for these.

Size down!
Size: 2 Big Kid, Color: Glitter Pink
These fishermen sandal heels are absolutely adorable! My 9 year old says they are comfortable, and she's excited to wear them once it get a little warmer. This style didn't have the strong tutti frutti scent that the other Mini Melissa sandals have. We own a few pair of Mini Melissa, and they always have held up well, for the most part. Sizing runs small, so we sized down about a size and a half. I always appreciate the quality of this brand, and the style can't be beat
