These red 63/64 cars seem to keep finding me. Jesse hooked me up with this one from Glenwood last year.
The plan is to go for an outlaw-look..not really lowered, but with aggressive fat tires…ralley style.
Its not perfect, but very promising & just the way I like them.
This one has some cool patina to work with!!!
looks like a beetle exploded out back…. π
Yeah sorry. Planning to come in early to clean up.
Great deal on either car. Can never go wrong on a Franz Build!

I agree… a Franz build is always a solid investment!!!! πΒ Who wants a turnkey car????
The low rider is a cool ass car. Hopefully someone scoops something up to help the $$ situation.
Do something
Brake job over the weekend. I blasted/painted backing plates and drums while I had them apart.
I was ready to bleed the brakes, and found the pedal was seized due to a mouse nest in the tunnel…looks like I have more cleaning to do.
Franz got a lot done this weekend!!!! πΒ Getting himself ahead.. One red beetle at a time!!!!! πΒ Β It’s honestly a gift that we can build our own cars…. πΒ π
Yeah, not having a car payment is a huge benefit of being a car builder.
Iβm sooo looking forward to cleaning the piss soaked nest out of the tunnel.
Nasty shit Β that has to be done.
Justin..... that's Justin in Spanish.
I had that same issue with my heater tube on the bus. Always smelt like pine needles and mouse piss whenever there was heat going through it.:) Finally cut it out when I did the Subi swap.
I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.
Poop drippin soup
Packed from front to back with rat nest.. I used the vacuum, pressure washer, and drain cleaner through all the tunnel access spots.
I rebuilt a different pedal assembly during the evenings last week also. Roller Β pedal for less moving parts.
That looked like it sucked. Did you get any come back in your face using the pressure washer?!
Yep ππ» It was gross. I took a sink shower after.
I had a good weekend after power washing Saturday….I cleaned up the old 1500cc h case short block that came with the car. New P&L kit, stacked with refurbished tin and new exhaust parts supplies by the previous owner of the project.
I just ran it for 10 minutes and dropped the oil. Stoked with everything.π€
Damn! That motor looks Nice!!!! Iβm still pullin turds outta my Baja, think I need to cut the ends of my heater channels out and give them a good hosing!!! π π π
Great progress.
Some inspiration for you:
Franz kicked ass this last weekend!!!! πΒ Getting it done…
Mark.. thats a cool car!!! π
