Hey all!
I am usually on the 68 and up function of the site, but today I moved latterly to the Oval section. I am no stranger to Ovals. My first restoration was a 1955, which I purchased at the age of 14. Love Oval window Bugs!

Me in back of the Issues and my younger sister bugging the crap out of me.
It was my very offset, trunk off restoration. Took me 4 years to complete! Sold information technology after Momma died from breast cancer, to afford a security eolith for my own apartment, at 19. Did not go my money out of the sale, merely did get plenty to purchase a cheap automobile, put a security deposit down and accept some animate room while I started at a local VW contained garage in Chino, CA. It was called Dick Roy�south at that fourth dimension. Practiced stuff!

Then, here I am, at 48, reliving my teenage years and regaining a machine which I have regretted selling for 30 years!

Picked information technology upwardly today for $4500.00. Had to get tires on the rims before I dragged it home, so another $400.00. Simply, I got me an Oval in the garage tonight!

Here are the starter photos. Looks like original color was Ultra Maroon.
Enjoy! I know I am!

I could, but I did not want to spend the kids higher fund. Just wanted another project!

Plus, I had to take semaphores and wanted all of the details equally part of the bargain. Most of them for sale are missing the horn button among almost everything else. This ane had all of it, except the seats. Those, I may have to industry.

I but expected that would be a much cheaper auto in "The country of the enough". It looks similar the typical Southeast car that was abandoned 30-40 years agone. Information technology makes me feel better about my cars.

Good luck, I'll be watching.

That�due south what I have been telling you guys since I have been on this site. California has plenty of rusty Bugs. They are cheaper than the nice ones. Then, since I like my money, and I similar restoring Bugs, I tend to buy the ones that would normally cease up at a junkyard. I enjoy the challenges during the procedure. Like the seats. No way am I shelling out that much coin for 3 seats. But I am fully willing to spend over that to produce them myself! I like figuring it out and knowing that I can practice information technology.

Thanks for the luck. I will accept it all! Maybe I will find a bag of coin subconscious downward in the rust flakes in the front end quarter panel! Or the rust flakes will really plow out to be gold! Fingers crossed!

No work today!!!!!!

Time to update. Had me a full week of getting the car registered. Fun stuff - not! Why are authorities agencies then F�d up! Y!

Plenty negative, let�s dwell on the positive, as that is where I like to live!

So, with the registration being 5 years out, and uncertain how much I would need to spend, I decided before I get to far down the road, I would demand to get information technology registered. Then, off to AAA to see if I can hands transfer championship. Walked into their function and was called up in v minutes. Sat down with their appointed agent, who started the process, then....you guess information technology. A giant hurdle that I was not expecting! I know, I am a stupid ass! One should be able to assume, after a few decades of dealing with this country run bureau, that ane would know all the �I�s� to dot and the �t�due south� to cantankerous. But oh no, there are more!

AAA could not transfer the title due to it being 4 years past due on registration fees. 3 years would exist easy, but 4 is like the Berlin Wall! Become figure! And then, she handed me a paper that needed to be filled out, stating that the car has sat in a building and has non had it�s tires on any public road, for the pst 4 years. So, instead of merely giving upward, I showed her the pictures and asked if that sufficed. She said that was a great picture and that it is quit a project, but unfortunately, �No!�

So, I got in touch with the previous owner and asked if they would be willing to fill up out a form and sign information technology, simply stating the motorcar was in fact undrivable and never touched any government property. They agreed. Got that taken care of and returned to AAA to finish. Saturday down, went back through the hoops and was denied. Apparently AAA is non able to reregister cars more than iv years out. Damn information technology! She stated I needed to go to the DMV. That�s similar the kiss of death!

And so, 4 days later, I had an appointment cancel on me. I immediately went past and picked upwardly my file on the car and drove to the DMV. Information technology was 10:30. There was a line of 22 people formed on the outside of the building. I got in it and baked in the sun! 45 minutes afterwards I was at the front door and a representative asked what i was in demand of. They reviewed my paperwork and said get sit down in the waiting area. Picket the monitor for (she handed me a piece of newspaper with �B098� on it) B098 and the station you would demand to go to. one 60 minutes and 22 minutes later B098 showed up on the screen with �Window 12� attached to it. Off to window 12 I proceeded, file in hand. Explained to the representative what I was in need of and what I take completed. She took it all over to a supervisor. They went back and forth for 20 minutes. She returned and stated that the car was more than 4 years past of title fees and taxes and that i was at present the responsible party for them. Lucky me!

And so, $848.00 afterwards I am the proud owner of a sticker, which I volition continue to pay for every year!

My car is now legal to place its tires onto public domain! I experience so special.
