It doesn't always take tons of money to make a showstopper. Alex Boughen and his father are proof of this. Alex having a desire for an air cooled beetle picks up at 1975 1200. The seller says it needs just a little bit of work on a few weekends to get it on the road. Removing the carpet revealed that the nails holding the carpet down to the wood screwed to the holy floor pan meant trouble. Luckily Alex's dad is a welder by trade and they took on the rebuild of this project and it turned out way better than expected. In 2022 Alex won the builders choice award that's given by the top builders in the UK to their favorite car. This car is loaded with air suspension custom three-piece 17 inch wheels a 1641 cc engine and tons of custom brass pieces built by Alex and his dad. This just goes to show it's not always about money it's more about determination. You're just in luck Alex is currently working on a 1968 Beetle to debut at Volksworld 2025 and we are looking forward to seeing that debut.
