I like some of the stickers on their Volkswagen, its meaningless... and that is just plain cool.
Some Bugs owners have a creativity.. And they used it on their cars. Like this exhaust..
Its a dual pipe... and that is just nice.

Volkswagen Hunter Part I
Since i went to Ojan's Volkswagen workshop, i managed to snap a couple of pics of another volkswagen around the workshop.
And im gettin more interested with Volkswagen.
trash em'
Here is some customer's car. (Note the Batman behind there (a Mercedes Batman, not a real Batman though))
What a sad little thing... why?

Because its gettin jacked up.
Ojan's Bug : 1 more week to go
This is a story of a man who likes to be different. This is a story of his determination to build his car to his own satisfaction. This is a car which took 3 years to complete the rebuild.
And this is a true story.
This car started its life as a standard car, driven to extended miles just to bring a man from point A to point B.
The new owner, Ojan.. took over the car and rebuild it back to its former glory.
He did not just rebuild the car, he improved the car with aftermarket parts and some add ons to make the car looks more aggresive
And after 3 years of hardwork, its almost ready.
And one thing for sure, its not a typical japanese car. It is indeed a rare breed.. a species that i would like to own someday.
It is a Volkswagen Beetle 1303. Or with the nickname, the Super Beetle.
He started with stripping the car and sent to couple of bodyshops to make a full body repair
The process alone took 2 years with limited budget and D.I.Y works to make it like this
And since this is a 1303 model, it has a dashboard. Since it has a dashboard, it now stores a lot of useful information with couple of aftermarkets metres and switches. And that is impressive for a german classic car.
He then towed the car to shah alam, the workshop to install back his engine. With some replacement parts and new wiring. It should be running like heaven.
This is rather a unique engine. Air cooled with no timing belt and different piston position. This design is simply ahead of time during the 70s. And this engine is the same as a Porsche.
And after couple of months, the car is almost ready to roam the streets. This is such a long journey and heaps of jobs done on the car.

He painted the car with flat black as it is his favourite color, and i must say.. im starting to like it. A lot..

And i am sure that the owner will be very satisfied after 3 years of restoring jobs. He did not only manage to finish the jobs, he managed to become different, he managed to rebuild the car to his own specs, and that is some respects to the owner...
And this is a true story of BulletBug

Man KE30 : 90% Finished
This perky little thing has transformed from a humble looking car to a screaming head turner. And the journey it travelled is a story that many people cant tell. It has a story of its own, which i learnt a lot from. And that knowledge i learnt from it will be use on my Celica to create my own kind of story.
This was a serious and wonderful journey for this car and the owner.
I call this a mean ketupat machine
This journey started with a bodywork from Ah Hai. Which is the same body shop as my KE30 before. The bodywork includes stripping, welding and undercoat. Man also opted a new pair of fender.
