The history so far is that I found it over the summer in a small mining town here in Colorado. Took me a couple months to eventually track down the owner, who of course wasn’t interested in selling it at first. He was heading out to do something then and I told him I’d come back another weekend when he had more time to talk. So I went back a couple weeks later with the 15 window. Didn’t find him on Saturday so I stayed at a friends in Winter Park then drove back on Sunday and was able to catch him. After letting shooting shit for a while about skiing and what not I let him drive the 15 and just geek out over VWs. Couple hours later he came around to letting me take it home and we made a deal. A week later it was on a trailer home with me.Ran through the brakes, bearings, topped up fluids, and bought a 1600 from Painters that they had pulled out of a wrecked bug. Made it a bit over 100 miles, had a starter go out, towed it, and lost the pop top. Did some bodywork during my internship with JJ at KCW. Now its got my 2332 in it, a new top, new shocks, trans mounts, more bearings and RGB stuff, clutch cable and arm, and has been cleaned out so I could tear into the rust repair. Unfortunately there was rust-through not only on the outside of the cargo floor near the cargo doors, but also right in the center. Of course because there was all this I had to replace a lot more than just the floors. Cut everything out and I think it lost 20lbs worth of dirt that was hiding everywhere. Spent my week-long spring break fitting and welding in replacement metal. All WW and KF.

 

4 years now in the making??

Apparently, I’ll have this back before the end of the month…. not that his estimates have been precise before.
