Then and now, a new face lift
Posted on 2008 under Daily Dose, Family affairs, Picture Perfect |18 Jan
I’m not too sure if I’ve mentioned this or not….most likely I have, but we own a 1973 [or maybe older model] of the Volkswagon. It was my Dad’s first and only car, and it was bought first hand, with only one owner - him. Today, my Sis drives it around campus as her mode of transport. As you can tell, this will always be ours to own as we are not planning on selling it. We’ve had dozens of offers to get it off our hands but nup, we love her to bits and we don’t intend to sell it at all.
Recently Sis got into 2 accidents - one where a drunk driver knocked into the back bumper and the other, a more scary and serious accident was when a trailer smashed her on the side. Praise the Lord that she didn’t have a single scratch on her despite the major damage done to the side of the car. To be more precise, her side of the car. Many say that she is lucky to be alive - I say it’s a miracle, divine intervention, that the Lord always looks after His sheep.
With such extensive damage done, we decided that it was time to give the ol’ girl a new face lift and she was given a new coat of paint along with some un-denting works. This VW has always been white from the time she was purchased. So seeing it in a different colors was really weird for me personally but I guess you get used to it…..

my dad drove the exact same beetle (a darker blue) until a couple years ago when it finally died…beyond repairs. it was a really cool car as he did some modifications and I totally loved when he’d come to pick me up from school with it (hehe)
