I had the opportunity to talk Paul Donaghy the creator of the custom 1969 Volkswagen Beetle “Bugsplat” at Classic Car show in Milton.
The idea for Bugsplat came when Paul was originally making a empty sportster a metal dune buggy. Originally a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle, he cut and rearranged it to give its look. It’s made out of all metal and wielded construction no fiberglass. It has all new construction high performance parts. The way the car got its name was – If somebody had taken a Volkswagen Beetle or bug and it has been splat”
Bugsplat was born from 1500 man hours. “That’s a lot of weekends”
Here are some Specs of the Car:
- 4 Wheel Disc Break
- Front VW Fenders on back.
- High Performance 1776 Engine
- Front fenders made out of Mold A Spare tire covers
- Boston Mini hubcaps
- 39 Ford pickup headlights
- 1960 Buick taillights
- 1985 Honda Civic seats reworked
