|
| So this has been a 32 year journey. I purchased back the first car I had in 1993. 1973 VW Thing. I sold it in 2004 and purchased back the same exact car. Its pretty rough, but I continuing what I started in the late 90s. I have purchased a lot of NOS sheet metal to get it finished. Hopefully next year it will come full circle. |
