Here is my 1965 Beetle. My dad acutally bought the car for me in 1992 for $600 at the Ford Dealership he was working at. The car was driven from Anaheim, CA, to the Cleveland area of Ohio with no problems. It was never met as a project, just something to go have fun with the family during summer. My parents eventually got divorced and the car was stored on my gradfathers property in Southern Ohio from spring 1997 until summer 2004. The car was started and driven about 5 times from spring 97 until summer 2000, then my dad and grandfather had a falling out and was left to rot behind a shed. This summer i was staying at my grandfathers for a few days and stumbled upon the car while walking around having a cigarette. I couldn't believe i actually forgot about it. The next week I drug the car out of the weeds with a fourwheeler, washed it, and loaded it on to a car dolley to be pulled 125 miles on the dry rotted front tires. In the cars downtime, the tires have rotted, alot of the rubber moldings rotted, different forest creatures nested in it, the brake lines corroded, and worst of all...the floor pans had completely rotted. Nothing has been done with it as of yet, but pretty soon i'm going to see if I can get it to start. Shouldn't be a problem with a new battery and a little priming (knocks on wood). My plan for the car is to build a modern import influenced show car. The car has good solid fenders, good solid doors, perfect glass, good engine and transmission, good trunk lid, good tailight lenses and sockets, good headlight lenses, and a few other small things. First serious step im taking is dropping the engine for a semi-rebuild while trying to locate a replacement body shell with good floors. These seems like a cheeper, easier way compared to buying all the floor pan sections and welding them together. This way i'll just recycle all my old parts to a new body. I hope things go well, thats it for now.
