For most brides-to-be, the last thing on their mind before they get married is what kind of car they'll be taken to the ceremony in. Such was not the case for 26-year-old Megan Ashton, who spent six years transforming an old Volkswagen<\/a> Beetle into a Porsche 356, The Telegraph reports.<\/p>\n

The project began when Ashton bought the 1969 VW for just £200 when she was a student. Then after her fiance proposed, she stripped down the original car and added larger pistons and cylinders to the engine. She also added a white leather interior and the body of a 356.<\/p>\n

''There were times when I didn't think we'd get it done in time as it was such a huge project, but it meant so much," Ashton told the news source. "I dreamed of driving the car but got carried away buying my wedding dress, which meant it was quite difficult to fit in."<\/p>\n

Though not officially a Porsche, the car has a top speed of 100 miles per hour and is worth about £25,000. The 356 was Porsche's first-ever automobile and was originally created in 1948.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
