Long time lurker here.
The handwritten text is Nachtrag.ย In English it means addendum.
So much cool shit!
Between Morty and Scott, they got it figured out.

I never know what it’s gonna take to get a lurker to chime in… ๐ ๐ ๐ย But I know I love it when it happens… ๐ ๐ ๐
The manuals are really really cool… I need to start a glass case full of literature!!!ย ๐ย sitting in the shop won’t help them out none…ย But they are TO BE SEEN!!!ย and enjoyed… ๐ ๐ ๐
Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.๐
Hope nobody moves parkway projects forward this weekend and focuses on personal builds!!!!๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐
Only personal projects in the dirty shop yesterday.
Managed to get Bretโs โ67 stripped on Friday.ย
We will build it if it comes.
Pushing along on Bretโs โ67. This is not a full resto. We are stripping, blasting certain areas, and epoxy sealing, then it goes home.
Stripped and blasted the fenders yesterday. Lots of layers on this one to get through.ย
Sanded and epoxy sealed this morning.ย
We will build it if it comes.
Love that sticky brown paper clogging primer!
I took beetle1 on a test drive yesterday. It still had a slight front end shimmy/vibration @ 55mph+
The brakes worked great though!
I was hoping the new tie rods would take care of the shimmy issue. ย But no luck. I ripped out the control arms and pressed out the ball joints + bushings. New ball joints should be here tomorrow.
Did some blasting on Bretโs โ67, dash, door jambs, fender wells and aprons.
Rolled back into the dirty shop and sanded it all down.ย
Couple of rusty spots and pin holes to fix.
The rear apron had been replaced and was brazed on. Looks like took another light hit and broke the majority of the brazing.
All back together now.
We will build it if it comes.

What can I say, I don’t have a lot to offer, but I do speak German.ย I’ve been a fan since Franz built Death.ย I’ve got an old Volvo and an old MG, both needing a lot of the same work you guys do to these VWs.ย I’ve had a lot of friends with beetles and busses, someday I’ll probably have one too.
Worked on Bretโs โ67 yesterday.
Ended up welding about a dozen pinholes. Had to dig in two layer deep for the pass fender well repair.ย
Pass jack point has been smacked a bit. Dissected it from the pan and straightened it up.ย
Small section of the deck lid seal channel had to be replaced as well.ย
We will build it if it comes.
