yeah I feel kinda bad about it. Like I said I am new to the VW thing and didn't really know what I was getting. A nice man hooked me up with the bug cheap... almost free so it seemed logical to go with it. I guess its better than it just decaying in a field..... Sorry guys

I picked up a new but used exhaust for the bug today. Cheap almost free







I should have waited to put it on after I got the body back on but I couldnt wait...... I will just have to take it off when I start to get that body on

" />" /> I picked up a set of decals off of a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente from a
flee market.... Thought it would be kind of funny if my car said hot in
spanish on the side. (got a pair for $4 and cleaned them up with some
fine steel wool)
