Working on a survivor 65 Fontana grey beetle today. Broken clutch fork spring, slipping og clutch, rusted muffler, and a bunch of other stuff. I just finished power washing the former grease-ball transaxle for the second time.
Perfect zero dent original pan half’s on this one.
Installed new motor mounts, clutch fork spring, and input shaft seal. Noticed the bumper mounts were almost non-existent. Called the owner Eric and asked if he wanted to do them while the engine was out. He agreed. So I took the fenders off to prep for some dirty shop rust repair work. Next week.
Also ordered a new tar board kit. I accidentally damaged the original while I was power washing.The original axle boots are holding. So I left them alone.
Working on a late red Baja today. It’s been sitting for two years. …Probably because the transaxle mounts are blown out.
This is why we don’t like the red urethane mounts. A couple of the nuts were rubbing the flywheel too.
76 convertible not running due to fuel supply…. Because of a incorrect reading fuel gauge.
I found a mud dobber nest on the backside of the speedometer. The electrical connections became corroded, and made for more resistance in the circuit. Easy fix with a wire brush.
I did the full tune-up oil change too.
Started on the passenger side rear bumper/fender well repair yesterday afternoon for this OG paint Fontana Grey 65.
Finished that one up this morning.
Same thing on the driver side this afternoon. Spread sealer on the backsides. Ready for a bit of paint on Monday.
We will build it if it comes.
