| '66 Bug - The start of A Restoration.
So, I have always wanted a bug, and one day the woman showed some interest, and I saw it as a chance to get her hooked on cars. Between the bug and the HHR SS shes been showing alot of interest and is currently looking for a WRX or MazdaSpeed3. So its worked out pretty well. We looked for a few weeks, from finished bugs to projects, after seeing what the finished bug world had to offer, most of them lacked quality, so we decided on a project. Came across a 66 Bug that was 100% complete, and the previous owner had started to tear it down for restoration, then left it in a barn for 20 years, where a scrapper picked it up but decided to resale it instead of sending it to the crusher. Plan to have new pans in and a restored rolling chassis by next winter, then during next winter it will get the engine/trans built for it. I'm a little disappointed at the amount of rust, its not horrible, but its not the rust free bug that was described to me. |
