Backyard Bug Project

[Ysarex]

Out for a walk yesterday and found this backyard project in progress -- just a couple of sawhorses.

oh wow..Does that remind me of my youth. I had 4 bugs, a type 3 and a bus throughout the 70's and early 80's. Love those cars!

I used to drive one too -- those were the good old days. When it broke down you could always push it home.

In the unlikely event you couldn't fix whatever was ailing it with a crescenthammer. Not sure I'm 100% convinced of the quality of engineering of those horses!

i like this. Neat photo, interesting in what is going on and interesting from a societal neighborhood perspective. This is something i would shoot too, snapshot or not.

Love the angle of those legs, and what really cracks me up is the cross member has already fallen off on the front horse. Must have been faulty finishing nails. God only knows what's holding it up. "Let me crawl under there and fetch that screwdriver I dropped"

Yep, I saw that too. I looked under the porch for the engine and didn't see it -- maybe he's got it in the basement.

It doesn't look original.
