This is Bubbles, another specimen of a crawling bug from Batangas. Nothing is known to the BatFolks why Dennis calls this beetle with such a name. Bubbles is another 1969 hoodride that serves her master’s his daily driving pleasure. She can be often seen crawling on the streets of Sto Tomas and sometimes in Lipa for the 1st Friday meetings of VWCP-Batangas.
Bubbles has the stock tranny which is powered by stock 1200 engine. What is so interesting about this bug’s engine is that you can find accessories that can be found on your old school scooters and plumbing store. Bubbles’ econo engine made use of Dio (Scooter) air cleaner, which uses a PVC plumbing elbow as an adapter to the stock carburetor. Oil filler cap is replaced with an air cleaner for a scooter, this cap also serves as the engines breather. Stock VW generator supplies the needed charge and spins the fan on the other end.

15” Commodore wheels which are painted white wrapped with low profile radial tires are fitted for that “Cali” look. Dennis himself took care of the lowering job on this bug. He took out some torsion leaves on the front and adjusted the rear. Sweet. Interior is Spartan with stock rear seats, Japanese front seats, Nardi Wood Steering wheel and a sound set-up will give you that nice feeling inside.
