That’s nice 👌

Thank you very much!

That’s cool!

Thank you!

Baja build, maybe? :D

I’m not sure; since so much of this car is original, I may keep it as it is. However, if something happens, I could consider it more!

Thats really clean for a 1st gen Beetle!

Thank you!

Picture from back?

Here’s one!

Congrats!

Thank you!

So you are gonna talk about what wood the gearshift knob is but not why you bought it? haha

Good point! Since I was five or six years old, I wanted one of these. It started when I saw The Love Bug and Herbie: Fully Loaded at that age, and I was intrigued by what that car was capable. Recently, one of my dad’s friends was selling it. When I took a look at it, I remembered that I desperately wanted one of these when I was younger, so I decided to buy it!
