My name is Hendrik Coetzee and I stay in South Africa. I have always loved Beetles. My very first car was a 1971 VW Beetle which I later sold to my regret. I currently own a 1974 VW Beetle, a 1970 Bay Window Westfalia Bus and a 1960 Beetle called Oupa.
I heard through a Beetle club that Oupa was for sale at a bargain price and I jumped at the opportunity to buy it. Considering the age of the car, it was in a fair running condition when I bought it. The previous owner was more into American muscle cars and he really neglected the old bug. I always tell people that I "saved" the car from its previous owner.
We decided to call the bug Oupa (Grandpa) because of its age. I drove it for a while and we drove it to a couple of car shows before I decided to start a restoration project on it.
This blog is dedicated to the restoration process and I will post regular updates on progress.
