BugRat

Post by ScottieJ » Mon Jun 03, 2013 12:53 pm

Well I needed a break from, doing :suzuki:'s as it's all I ever work on and I've had a bit of a thing for Beetles forever, I nearly actually bought this one about 7+ years ago and it's been sat in my fiends garage for 15years, it was his brother's but he lost interest in it after going to Uni, it was sat in a garage for about 5 years before he got it. well it's now mine and I picked it up at the weekend, it looks worse than it actually is, there's just loads of surface rust, all 4 wings were brand new 10 years ago :lol:

Just the kind of crap I have seen atop a few old VWs at shows.

Personally I dont really like the crap strapped to the roof look. Rust looks good though.
