I am in Havre to answer the last post from the other page. To answer Yasha, the wheels on it are what I am keeping. It took me 2 years to track these ones down. Rears are 5.5x15 sport wheels from a porsche 914 and the fronts are the same just 4.5x15's. Front tires are and will be 135/15s and rears a...

Wooohoo!!! Progress to report. Got the case back from my buddy about a month ago but have yet to do anything with that. For now I am busy chugging along on some bodywork. Mainly the driver's and passenger's doors. I wanna say it took me about 3 weeks off and on on the drivers door to get it to where...

Got up early and gave her a bath. Me and the wife took her up to Cars and Coffee for a while. She was in some pretty good company. The trim stuff still needs tidying up, I NEED to find the quarter flares and no luck so far. Put a new Wolfsburg emblem on the drivers side. Bla bla bla...pretty happy ...

Got the case cleaned up. Next is to send it out to my machinist. But for now, got some parts cleaned up. A few teaser before and afters. Will update more when I get more parts cleaned up and deeper into the engine. Case cleaned. http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg353/endicott_jb/0702121751.jpg Pis...

Compres...

So I broke down and got a big storage unit for the bug and all my tools. Spent the morning yesterday moving it all off the trailer and into the unit. Next off is cleaning up the engine case to ship to a friend toi have align bored and thrust cut. Anyhow, here's a picture of the "shop." htt...

Not car or vw related at all and I wish I had some photos of when I was building it but here she is. The hot rod wagon I built in March. The frame is all built from 1/4" square tubing, the front axle actually steers and is modelled after an early ford axle complete with reversed leaf spring mad...

That isn't a vw engine. Though there was a company in san francisco, ca that put acvw engines in bmw motorcycles. That is an airplane engine.

It's gonna be a while until I am completely settled in. right now, almost everything is in storage. So, until I get a garage to work in, there it will stay.

Decede that I didn't want to hack up the wheel wells of this body like I did with the original for the beam so I took the beam out and notched the towers. Coated it with a good coat of undercoating and test fit. A litle massaging with a dead blow hammer and she was as good as new. http://i540.photob...
