just bugn Wed Jun 24, 2009 10:39 pm

Hi everyone been on the site for awhile now finally decided to start my own build thread. Just a little on me I'm 25 and vw's are in in my blood
I grew up with them around and have always loved them I finally got the chance to get one of my own about 3 years ago a very rusty 64 beetle that one of my dads buddys had brought it home found out just how rusty and started collecting parts. Over the last 2 or so months I have finally had enough parts to start bringing her back to life...
This is how I found her


My progress on the pan







and yes I drove it (Had to) :twisted:
