"NITRO'S VW BUG"
Here is my precisouse car which I Smile upon in my shadow. if you like vw's as i do e-mail me at Rotten_Cherry@email.com. If you dont like vw's, thats ok too, for I once thought they were pieces of crap cars, but my oppoin has changed greatly since I was 8 years old. Did you know one of the most uncomfortable places to have sex is in the back of a Vw? Well...enjoy.
This is my 1969 vw bug, bought around october 2001. These pics were taken soon after i bought the car, it had just recieved some personal body work, which I might Add i did a horrible job at it. the paint job is an eye sore and the interior was like sitting in a land fill.
sadly, i paid a full $1,600 for this vw. Unfortunately the car has a salvaged title. Its an ongoing project for myself.
After 8 months and at least 40 hours this is what my ride now looks like.
