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

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.

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
