Acquisition of the Project Vehicle

The day we picked up the project - we bought this for PHP 17,000.00 plus PHP 500.00 finders fee for the tricycle operator that found it. Its a 1972 VW Beetle. Owner said it was not working (engine wont turn) and flood water managed to go as high as a foot and a half a couple of times where the bug was parked.

The seller was so proud of it had many good things to say about it. And despite the way it looked, he was convinced that the paint job was really good and that the engine was good. He did say that the tranny was replaced with one from a VW Brasilia as the old was had to go.
