Chicken Coop in a 1973 VW Bug - Part 3

     I took the outside inside to the coop and painted scenery on the door with clouds on the ceiling!  The nest box is made from an old steel bread box I had kicking around - I put a set of drawer sliders on the nest box to bring it towards me to collect the eggs.
    I carved out a fox - started with a cedar log and he's looking out for the chickens.  The feeder is made out of PBS piping.  Any of you who might be in the neighbourhood please stop by and have a look.

Chicken Coop in a 1973 VW Bug - Part 2

     The out side of the reno to the '73 Super Bug. 

     I took out the headlights and replaced them with fishing buoys.  The fender medallions I made using the following: the beak is from pliers; the tail is from a set of  tongs and the body is a small fishing buoy.  Where the engine was I have made it into a feed bin  for shell grit, etc.  For the back fenders I put parts of an old lamp to add a different touch.  I put a Venmar vent on the roof to keep thing dry inside.  On the front door window I put on over racks for screening when the windows are down. 

     I will post the inside reno on the next post.

Chicken Coop in a 1973 VW Bug - Part 1

     Sometime people out there call me a redneck - I guess with my latest project proves that! 

     I've been looking for a Bug for the last six months to turn it into a "chicken coop"!  I found it - this 1973 Volkswagen Super Bug. 

     I'll post the reno's I did to it over the next few posts.

     I fixed her up!  I stripped out the inside and put down a new floor, touched up the paint and added accessories!
