Workcover knock on the door, and want to inspect your workshop.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Your wife realised you were using her good bath towel to mop up oil and offered the beetle for free pickup on Gumtree.
Consequently a man named Joe turned up to pick up the beetle in his Nissan micra dispite your wife saying 'Trailer or Ute required'??

Rotten cord holding up pushbike gives way to unnecessary bling on bike such as sidestand; rear wheel of bike lands on roof of Beetle creasing it badly
while pedal goes through back window; extra localised weight on garage roof batten causes roof to collapse in; Beetle body falls down and forward onto
pan, splitting the red plastic fuel container; petrol sprays everywhere, with fumes ignited by recharging-battery/other-sloppy-wiring; the initial
explosion weakens the central support bringing the roller door crashing down onto the nose of the beetle, while at the same time upsetting the open
container of waste oil, which, together with the poly mattress, provides excellent fuel for a jolly conflagration. By now the "radial powerguard"
tyres are well and truly alight as the intense heat buckles the remaing frame of the door opening, freeing the pan to roll slowly, but with gathering
impetus, down the mildly inclined driveway toward the freeway. On passing the weatherboard house with canvas awnings, the flaming pan with its fiery
load of burning rubber and petrol bath sets the house on fire, before proceeding at a gathering pace toward the freeway.... At about this point, the
intense heat im the shell of the garage has caused the far wall to collapse, bringing the tins of paint, solvent, bucket of general-purpose grease and
the gas bottle on the upper shelf into play; the subsequent secondary explosion breaks all of the neighbours' windows. By this time, the huge toxic
smoke cloud billowing from the wreck, a combination of gasoline, mattress, rubber, GTX, grease, paint, solvents and LPG fumes causes call-outs for the
fire brigade, police and SES. Regrettably, before any of these services arrive, a Nissan Micra pulls to a stop at the driveway entrance just at the
exact moment that the the fiery pan arrives at the bottom of the drive at terminal velocity.....

RESULTS
Whats the worst that could happen?:
The roof could collapse causing the body and a few bikes to collide with my chassis, bending the engine's delicate parts and chassis, all the glass
could crack and I'd be stuck with a huge pile of mess and not be able to shut the roller door…
But it didn't and I achieved my custom lift kit.
For the record, I have two bikes currently, a 1971 Healing, single speed, and a 2007 SantaCruz superlight with no bling appart from what will help me
dominate single track
