Did anyone else notice the differences in construction of the trusses from the american style? I am thinking that those would not pass here.
Very nice home though. Just out of curiosity,
De quelle coin venez vous? Je vivais dans le Nord, et Champagne il y a 30 ans. J'aime la France.

Bonjour et bienvenue dans le forum de Garage! Je ne parle pas beaucoup de francais, mais un petit peu. Le VW Beetle c'est un voiture trés interessant! Vous avez des photos du Beetle?

Got to say, that's a nice garage. Those trusses look classic, that's how they used to make the roof to a building, here in the Netherlands too.

Comment ca va?

French is my first language, though I don't know all that much written, just spoken.

Thank you all for the welcome.

I'm from Capvern a little rural village in the south-west, in the Pyrenées (mountains between France & Spain) but I'm native of Reims in Champagne.

These trusses are traditional construct in France & other countries in Europe, but there are a lot of "US style" trusses too.

The bug (bug in US & beetle in GB ??) is a 1300cc of 1971 (marina blue L54D)
I have a lot of work too...
on the body ... some rusty eated parts (doors bottom, doors hinge, sides bottom, ...)
on the chassis idem with big holes
on the motor a good revision + little prep ?

Pics of the bug very soon, promised !!
