66 bug that's been in the family for 31 years. It looked like this from 1988 until I started working on it in 2013.

It's a standard, 1200L Beetle, 1975. - Flat screen, but later Europa bumpers.
Here is my progress over the last 4 years - I cant take credit for the work, but it was my vision.

| Yes it was. This was one of several cars I built over a 10 year span, mostly from parts. These things were cheap in those days, I used to be able to buy complete cars for under $500, I paid $100 for that oval body. |
