The offer of a free Beetle
The first post to this blog has an appropriate beginning - the offer of a free beetle. Always an offer that should be viewed as suspect, my hopes to the potential of this offer were quickly brought down to reality, as I learned that the offered bug has been stored outdoors (in Ohio) and has not been run since sometime in the 80’s.
Knowing that there was going to be rust issues and the potential of spending more in restoration than the actual value of the vehicle. But, I suppose that’s not really the object - is it? Still, despite the vague condition of the beetle I still have a keen interest in taking this on. There is empty space in my garage which is screaming for something to be stored there, despite the condition.
I hope to go see this beetle sometime in the next few days, and then we’ll deal with trailering over it to my place. After the snow melts off it, then we’ll get an accurate look at what needs to be done.
