The Little Bug That Could, And Did With A Little Love!

Paul came across this poor dusty 1974 VW bug while peddling on his bike thru Napa.  The "FOR SALE" sign caught his eye...straight frame, NO RUST, a real Napa car!  

Awww...

Clean interior!

Next thing he knew, the dusty bug was his and he was installing a new carburetor,  plugs and plug wires.

ZOOM, ZOOM...Runs great now! 

Then the bike went into the bug.  8.5 miles from marina to Napa, and then same 8.5 miles back AGAINST THE WIND!  Sore rear end had to do a lot with last-minute purchase of this little gem.

Commuter components.

 Perfect Fit!

Paul sold his beloved "Vanimal" in Hawaii for his sailing adventures and needed wheels upon his return to HI on November 21.  So he loaded up the bug and drove south to Hayward/Oakland by way of some San Francisco sightseeing and some business in the Haight.

Stayed at Surfer John's place a few nights in Foster City, a bit south of SFO Airport.  Thanks John!

Then this past Tuesday, he drove the little bug over to Hayward, just a few miles over the bay on the east side,  and dropped it off at Pasha Auto Freight.  "Little bug that could" is now on the ocean heading to HI.

Paul ordered some old-school surf racks for the bug that will arrive in time as the bug.  Will be a Diamond Head and Kewalos cruiser for SURE!

Then Paul took BART back to John's place.

"No take picture!"
Girl look at boy, boy scowl at whitie...
Dang man, CHILL!

Stay tuned, the adventure's not over yet!
