Johan's 1972 Super Beetle

My name is Johan, I am 21 years old and I live in Puurs, a small town near the capital of Belgium. After messing around a few years with Ford Capri's, I finally decided to buy myself a Beetle. I made this decision because some of my former friends had them too. We had our own warehouse in a town nearby and we often gave parties and helped each other with the work on their cars. My Beetle is a 1972 1302 VW Automatic with a 1300cc AB-block. It's exactly 32 years old and it was originally delivered to the American market. It looked like a nice car, but it was a real wreck.
