Keep digging Freddy! When you get to something I want, I will hit you up. OH WAIT! What are you going to do with those convertible W lids? Give you a buck for each one. Joking brother. I have no need for one. I know they are worth more than Gold.
Keep going Freddy!

Now, scrubbing the crustiest. Lookin good

That bug wants to drive somewhere. 
It's so fascinating that through the junk yard builds this family heirloom has been waiting in its hide and seek hole for the perfect moment to pounce.
p.s I hate when I tip an engine full of that ancient tar pit oil! You'd think I'd learn, but no, I'll do it again |
I was checking to see if there was oil in it. Woooops
My 83 Ps&Cs are on their way. 350 bucks, shipped from AA.
Yummy
