My Other 70 Bug

Basically, I bought this car in Granite Bay for $200 in March 2009. I was going to use it as a Full-On Drag Bug. But after stripping it down, wire wheeling the entire inside, doing some rust repair, and gathering some parts. I ended up getting my yellow 70, so this one's just been sitting. Today, I was at Pick-N-Pull and found a good hood, so i got it, and when i got home, I drug the car around, and bolted on the hood, and some fenders I had around. So now i feel like doing a little bodywork, paint it and have a good back-up driver. I have all the glass except the front, and I can use the old interior out of my yellow 70. Oh this is the same car that's for sale in the Classifieds. Not sure that I want to sell it anymore.

Here are the pics i took today.

Here are some older pics.
