Day 4- SWAP MEET

So, today was a very long, interesting day. My dad and I got up at 7am, on this lovely Saturday morning to go to the annual SWAP MEET(I feel important when I say that). For those of you who are unfamiliar with this event, its basically a giant, GIANT flea market, but only for car stuff. It was quite overwhelming. Just a bit to much to take in in 7 hours. Yes, thats right. 7 HOURS. We stayed untill about 3pm. On the optomistic side, I did learn allot. For one, I learned that we got an AMAZING deal on this car! We met a guy with a 68 vert bug that did have all the parts, they were just... Lets just say not all assembled. He was selling that basket case for not to far off from what we paid for my almost-fully-restored one. I showed him a couple pics of my car, and he was ready to give me double for whatever we paid for it, but of course, I refused. So now I know we did pretty good with this thing. Surprisingly, through those 7 hours of walking in 40 degree weather, we didn't get a single thing that goes on my car. We did pick up a few tools, an orginal owners manual, and a complete service manual for knock-you-off-your-feet deals, and I learned allot. So even though we didn't get anything to actually "put the car together" I still learned allot, and it was definately worth it.

After all this, the minute we got home I of course went straight out to scrape more rust with some new tools we got, which was all worth it. So all in all, after this long and tiring day, I feel quite accomplished. Stay tuned for next weeks adevntures!
