1972 VW Bug

My Bug

I got a 1972 VW Bug on March 11, 2000, just a month after having fairly major surgery. I had always wanted a Bug. I saw it in a yard and just had to have it, so I bought it.

The Bug was running but needed some body work, paint, a tune up, new exhaust system and seats recovered. With the wisdom of my mother and help from a few friends, we got started. I personally did the motor work. With all the help, I had it on the road in three weeks.

After all the satisfaction of owning my Bug, I sold it in the fall of 2001 to help pay for my land where I now live.
