Mum and dad bought this good running car in Mysen in the mid eighties. It was meant as a "second car". The car was sold new at Erling Rød (the local VW/Audi store) in Askim. A man in Trøgstad become the first owner. We used it until the start of the 1990`s. At that time HotShop was the biggest VW-beetle warehouse. They had an great happening every year; BugIn at Sandstangen in Trøgstad. You can read more about BugIn. My dream was to paint our beetle grey-metallic with some cool wheels and so on. My dad did not agree. My neighbour run a company; Nor Kit Cars and sold American roadsters and Porsche Speedster replicas. As you can imagine, we had a lot of choices what to do with the "half-old" VW.
This is the best pic we have of it before the start of the restauration.
