Twenty years ago, my brother thought it
would be cool and economical to restore a Volkswagen
Beetle Convertible. So he bought one for
$300. It sat in a three-quarter length shed, with
its butt sticking out for about 18 years. Then,
with nothing better to do one weekend, we drug the old
junker (lets just call it POJ) over to his house and
mounted it into the corner of his garage. Then, a year
or so later, on another day when nothing needed our
attention, we made another leap in progress. On
that day, we drug another old junker (a Karmen Ghia with
a smashed front) to a friend of his. This friend is
in the bug business and was willing to trade the junker
ghia for another junker beetle. The objective was
to get two junker bugs (my brother's original POJ - and
his friend's Beater Beetle) so my brother could put one
two junkers together to make one junker. Well this
day, we used the tractor
to drag the junker ghia over to the bug guy's house and
returned with the Beater Beetle.
So my brother has spent the last year and a half
preparing POJ to be a VW Concours Winner. It will
be a 1966 (or 1967 or 1968 - I can't remember) classic
convertible. But first, it needs some work.
