Probably one of the first "cars" I ever drove was a dune buggy based on a 60s Beetle. My dad and uncle built it back when they were my age. I'm too young to have owned an Beetle back in the day though.
A couple years ago me and my cousin rebuilt the buggy after it sat for 10 years. I rebuilt the Type I in my dad's garage.
Here it is after I was in progress and when it was done.
