Build story
What started as a step toward achieving the goal of building a Class 11 Baja Bug quickly transformed into what we now know as "The Green Bean." An early 60's Volkswagen Beetle with a hint of Gasser artistic charm, Green Bean is sure to turn a few heads, gain a few laughs (as well as several eye rolls). The Baja project derailed, becoming instead something that we fell in love with, both through the process of creating, and now in its current state of metamorphosis. Created by amateur hands belonging to a petrol head husband and wife, Green Bean's floors have been fixed, it's body hand-painted, suspension rebuilt and overall given a new lease on life.
