Daughters New Bug

« on: June 16, 2011, 02:23:00 PM »
If anyone is interested, my daughter, Kristin, who is in Germany, just purchased a 71 bug with 25000 miles on it and has a blog she has invited members to visit


http://lilythebeetle.blogspot.com/2011/06/meet-lily.html

She invited comments and suggestions as she fixes "Lily" up

 8) Looks like a nice original car!  As for suggestions as she fixes it up . . . I'd fix what needed to be fixed to make it safe and functional and do as little as possible to the rest of it.  Anybody (with enough money) can do a full blown frame off restoration and make a car look new again . . . but you only have one shot at an original, un-restored car.   ;)
