A Bosnian pensioner created a perfectly functional and street-legal wooden Volkswagen Beetle.
While many believe once you enter your well-deserved, relaxing pension years, you will enjoy your free time, it turns out a lot of people keep themselves even busier, creating and working on things they didn't have time for before.
Momir Bojić, a pensioner in his early seventies from the Bosnian town of Celinac, near Banja Luka, crafted a truly one-of-a-kind Beetle, using over 50,000 separate pieces of handcrafted oak shingles.
Mr Bojić's began the transformation, which reportedly lasted two years, by working on the bodywork of a standard Beetle. Once prepared, he covered it with custom hand-made wooden fittings. And he literally covered it all the way from the steering wheel, all over the exterior, around the lights, way down to those shiny hubcaps. Impressive!
