New Beetle Retired man from Bosnia covers Volkswagen Beetle with 50,000 pieces of oak

[JHF]

Two years of work
A retired man from Bosnia decided to cover the body and interior of a classic Volkswagen Beetle in wood.

Meet Momir Bojic, a 71-year-old pensioner from Bosnia who back in 2005 decided to wrap an old Beetle in wood and after two years of hard work he finished the project, creating a one-of-a kind Bug covered in no less than 50,000 pieces of oak.

The attention to detail is amazing as the author used these wood pieces even for the hubcaps, windshield wipers and the dashboard. Virtually all visible parts have received the oak treatment and even the taillights have a center section made from this type of wood.

It's safe to assume maintenance requires some attention and the owner is probably more worried about termites rather than rust.

"So how does it drive?"
"Brakes feel a little wooden."

Do you get wood if you drive it?

 

[martinbo]

I'd hazard a guess at the risk of barking up the wrong tree...

Why?

 

[martinbo]

Do you reckon it has leaf suspension?

Why?

I think initially he just wanted to spruce it up.

Entertain me, I am still board! I wish something fun wood come along...

Looks a little fishy to me with all those scales
