Well done. My VW story is a 58 that I bought for $75 in 1971. The engine was in a 5 gallon bucket except for what didn't fit in the bucket. Of course I overhauled it in the kitchen.

Just saw this. Great looking Bug. That color just screams old school.


Just saw a video on YouTube where a guy but a Subaru WRX engine into a Bug. Man that thing moved
