"We purchased the car from the children whose parents who owned it had passed away. The original owner started restoring it the late 80’s and was left unfinished in the garage since then. The car was a one owner 38k mile car that was begging to be restored. I purchased the car to restore and sell. Along the way my family and I fell in love with it and decided to give it to my daughter. The restoration was a complete pan off. With only surface rust to contend with it only took a year to restore, 9 months of which it was in the body shop. After a really terrible paint job the car was yet sent to another body shop for a repaint. The idea with this restoration was to preserve a stock appearance. Every item on the car was either restored or replaced. It still retains the stock 1500cc engine. The roof rack was my idea. The color choices were my idea as well, mainly because I enjoy those classic color combinations. Jbugs was my go to for this restoration, pricing, customer service and selection make you guys the best. Thank you Jbugs for preserving the beetle. This was not my first beetle restoration and it won’t be my last, and we count on vendors like Jbugs to be there for us." -Jeremy Yadlosky
