1976 Beetle Rust Bucket to the Bomber
Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2017 9:27 am
Seeing as I have been lurking around here, I thought I should start a rebuild thread on my rust bucket a.k.a the bomber. Started out with my boss arriving at the offices with one of his family members Beetle. Being the idiot I am (should have left 5 min earlier) I have this personality disorder where every damn car and bike I see needs to be saved......
Cue the music.
What started out as just a simple " oh ill just change the bonnet and fender and drive it like that, has turned in to late nights and loooong weekends. Keep in mind tho, im not building a show car, but a reliable daily driver. Having had a Bug or 2 way back in the day the more I work on it, the more I fall back in love (although my hands and back arent on the same page).
Ill let the pics tell the story so far.
