Timbo, You're going to win the RRR high mileage award...if there was one.
I always enjoy the photos you take on a trip.

A friend has over 150.000 miles on his 27 Essex roadster "The Joker". He has driven it across the country 6 times. SBC, no fenders or hood. I have put 25.000+ miles on mine so far. Can't stand a trailer queen.

The pre-school chair is for my beat up back & knees (no cartilage) so i can't really kneel or stoop to much.i have about 10 of em
The body had over 40lbs of bondo on it, the last person to work on it felt they could fix any thing with bondo, & as far as the roll on paint with the right mix & roll it will come out real glassy.we still have to wet sand before the next coats.

It has 3 coats right now & i wanna put 2-4 more on it,the goal was to keep the total price of the paint job down under $100.oo,if we would have sprayed it would have been better,but we did it in our driveway over a month (weekends only) This build was for my son 18yr B-day & gradution present,it's kinda of a rat ~but kinda not [S we just want to make it better than it was.

Just joined RRR so haven't looked around a lot yet, but found this VW online.
Don't know if it's already been posted, but these guys built a pretty cool Bug.
