More Flower Power To You VW!
Anyone who knows me, knows I love VW's and events
that display them! Whether it's the VW Transport Fest in Boston,
Busses and Balloons in New Mexico or The VDub Hippiefest in Tarpon
Springs, one thing is apparent, and that is, that every one of these old VW's
has been saved from a landfill.
At every old car show you see vehicles in every
stage of transformation, from totally reconditioned to original shabby
chic.
I love that people have found and rescued many of
them and very creatively given them a new life.
Oh, and did I say, that the VW's are fun and make
you smile? Just think of Fillmore, the 1960 VW Bus, in the movie
Cars.
Vw owners are particularly creative with their
restorations. Partly because it's a playful car and partly because the parts are
often hard to come by, so they have to be! Here are some unique
upcycle ideas that will not only bring you back in time, but put a smile on
your face. You may even find some of them useful.
