My hubbys generator went out in his 64' VW, he got a new one and I got the old one.  I took out the insides and I had an old lamp here, so I took what I needed from that and this is what I created.

Thanks for the great comments. Posted: 9:53 am on April 8th

The world was a better place when you could buy a VW Bug for $1,700.

To convert this defunct generator into a lamp, especially from a '64 vintage VW, is great! Posted: 7:02 am on April 5th
