| Notes: |
'74 Baja bug. Chopped top, roll bar and mud tires. Got my car in seventh grade to work on it with my Dad. Now I build it up in memory of him. I've been working on it for the past 6 years making it what it is today. It may neve be finished, but thats the beauty of it all. |

All in all it took me about 6 hours to gut the car, cut and remove the top, and put the seats in all by myself, and go for a test drive in my new convertable.

pulling out the windows turned out to be suprisingly easy
