Car body is covered with thousands of pieces of oak,(even his hat is wooden) each of which required at least 23 separate procedures. This stunning Beetle has a full wooden body, wooden steering wheel, hub caps, dashboard and has become somewhat of an attraction on wheels in the Bosnian town of Banja Luka, near Momir Bojic’s hometown of Celinac.
