good job on the resto, i bet the original owner would be proud He is! We have sent photos of her to him. He is quite porly now but his wife has replied and said how pleased they are that she is loved and cared for now. It is just what they wanted. They were concerned that she would be broken for parts, but she is too good for that, even before the facelift.

hey guys, i'm sorry, but i don't really like all these comments about the previous owner. he owned the car for 40 years and obviously really liked her, and is now ill, and your happy to slag him off because of how he looks? maybe i'm just getting wound up, but aren't we missing the point?

Hi and welcome to the forum. SkodaNorm I am pretty sure no one was having ago at him, and I don't think by saying that he is a right charcter is in any way derogatory. But you got to admit it is a mildy amusing hat

Mr McCaffrey is a top bloke, just your typical old man. I don't think anyone meant any malice in their comments. As for modifying her, I already have with the bumpers. But that is the limit. I don't like to run with the crowd so any major modifications will not happen. I love her as she is! ;D

Hi, welcome. If i saw your beetle at a show i probably would look at it too long no offense, but with the hard work you's put in, the way it looks today its impressive. This along with the picure of that cool old man (who owned it so long without trading or scrapping), his daily driver, makes it truly awesome. Good for you for cheering the old man up. And resisting mods, don't know if i could. PS, i did chuckle at the papa smurf comment

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Like I've said before, Skoda Norman isn't your average yob, and I admire his attitude even if he did get the wrong end of the stick.
