next project...$500 '67 beetle
I picked this up a couple of years ago with the intention of having a beetle that goes in a straight line as quick as possible for next to
nothing...well i haven't done much apart from weld (poorly) the front heater channels and rustproof the pan and body...have spare engines laying
around so might try and do something for warwick this year... Then again, there is also a notch waiting for something to be done.

start again or gently bend it back into place, rest of the beetle is solid, nice straight panels and the doors and bonnet close like new..decklid is
