    Default A Couple VW Baja Bugs with wide wheels ....

    A Couple VW Baja Bugs with wide wheels ....

    I needed to attend to the "hood lining" on my XR6 Falcon and was recommended a local Penrith business "Top Stitch Motor Trimmer".
    Top Stitch Motor Trim | Sydney NSW

    Dave the owner & I hit it off, both being car enthusiasts, he especially VW's!

    I ordered the repairs/replacement of my "hood lining" at a very reasonable price and thought, I need to say THANK YOU, in my usual way..

    Make him and his little daughter a VW Baja Bug.....

    A fun toy build for me for sure.
    Cheers Peter.

    Handy Smurf and Papa Smurf also had a ball helping on the build especially doing the wide wheels!!

    Some extra info; their are 2 timbers in this toy.
    Sides are Cypress Pine flooring offcuts with the centre Sydney Blue Gum offcuts.
    The wheels are Red Gum.
    Shop bought axle pegs and furniture buttons for lights.
    The finish is my homemade WipeOnPoly, 3 coats.

    Thanks for the pics, they're a fantastic little gift.
    The child will have hours of fun with them, she might even talk dad into racing them.
