Getting back to my roots...

I owned a few bugs back in the day...and lately I've been craving another. I recently picked up this clean 64 and started tearing into it. Gonna be a lot of fun

Hey, I need to stop by your house before I sell my Acura

I have two dents that I need to pop-out...and also needed to see what I could do with this crack in my bumper.

yeah and I think from what I remember him telling me, he was doing this at his dads house before he had a license. so that would be about 1992, which would be back in the day.

not sure if that was in a defensive tone, but i was just curious, dick


I've always wanted to build a car from the body up. I think my dad and I are going to do an old porsche which i'm psyched about. Just a matter of getting him to clear out the garage

Cool... Keep us update, as this should be a interesting project (considering its just a body).

I really need to get motivated and get my vw put back together.

Sorry you couldn't pay me to drive one of those. Either new or an old one. I think they look nasty. Just not my taste.

I don't think they look "nasty", just a little feminine.

The new ones are cool if you're a lesbian and the cabriolet is too feminine for you.

Cool!! I had a 1967 21 window ragtop back in 92. I was working on it, but didn't finish it. I wish I would have kept it. I was an awesome cruiser!

Can't wait to see the finished product!!

Those ragtops are worth a lot of money. I also closed a deal on one once. It was a 65 in near mint condition and I almost got it for $800 (a steal). But owner decided at the last second to keep it.
