VW Beetle Restoration



The fondest memories of this 'Love Bug' include -
  1. The Christmas Eve! On our way back after midnight mass when it decided to stall due to a dysfunctional battery. Thank God for the good Samaritans who helped us get it running again.
  2. The Horn! Which decided blow on its own, while on the go of course!
  3. The Fire! yes, the engine caught fire once; a rather common occurrence in VW Beetles I'm told.
  4. The Party! I'm all dressed up en route to a 16th b'day bash when it decides to stall for no apparent reason. So here we are, trying to move it out of the way when a truck driver yells "wikunala daanawa oya dakkuwa!" (Sell that piece of junk)
But no amount of persuasion would convince my father to sell this little gem which has a mind of it's own. So after two years of neglect, the yellow bug begins to under go restoration to it's former glory. Follow me for updates on it's progress.
