Riley started stripping this on Sunday. He put in some more time in yesterday.
I finished the major stripping this afternoon. Couple dozen holes to weld up. Then address the badly rusted spots.
We will build it if it comes.
Brandon’s moon unit in for a alternator conversion. We’ve slowly been fixing all the problems on this one.
Susann’s 79 vert has been sitting in a shed for 5 years. The mice got in it. I cleaned it out, charged the battery, and changed the fuel. Ran great for about 2 miles until the rust in the gas tank plugged the fuel filter. We’re going to have to get a new tank for this one. It sounds like a rain stick.
Kim’s 71 super would run, but only for a minute. I determined it was a fuel supply problem due to an inop electric fuel pump. Running great now, but has the super beetle shimmies. We’re going to rebuild the front suspension next week, then I think she plans to sell it. Super clean and strait Colorado car.
Franz have you tried Evapo-Rust? I got it from Tractor Supply.
I’ve used it in a MC tank and worked great.

Pat and I have been working on a Canadian 79 Sun bug vert. It was a nice car, we made it nicer. New suspension wheels and brakes…And a bunch of other stuff. Soon to ready for a new owner. 😉
Canadian model with a gas heater.
looks good, kind of like CRL? A new tank is like $200 or less. If they have any flakes or nasty varnish at all, I will call it done. Not worth the effort.
I know what CLR is but haven’t used it. Yeah I get it on the effort to clean the tank. But it works.
This pic is the inside of an old XL100 tank cleaned with Evapo-Rust.
Just for reference.

Doug’s roof got a coat of Por-15 this morning 👍🏻 We’re kinda diggin the black roof look 😎
