Just finished power washing Zack’s new 66 bug, and its looking a lot better already! Plans for this aren’t really being made until Zack gets here tomorrow, but since I’m the first opinion I’m just gonna throw out the idea that this bug would be fuckin awesome as a Class 11 style baja. I’m thinking uncut body and fenders, lifted and slightly raked backwards, big mud tires, a roof rack, and tons of light bars ferda boyz

 

Nice face lift… 😉

Pete and I were talking yesterday…. as he was finishing it up for me….  We pretty much touched everything…. Only thing we didn’t take apart was take the body off the pan…  😉    Lots of new seals, lots of new mechanicals, and just a general take it apart, clean it up and reassemble it.. 😉   But no paint work….. NONE…   So mechanically…and interior wise… it will be like a new car…. With loads of character… and He won’t have to worry about were he parks and such….

We have about 2 weeks of time on the clock… and a bit of extra “Mom and Dad” time… 😉   and about $3500 in parts… and a $800 car… 😉  😉

I’m glad the line wasn’t plugged,  🙂  🙂  🙂

I had a similar problem, I had just brought my motor home from running it on the stand. Put it in, Madison hooked up fuel line and removed the vise grips clamping the line. She didn’t notice the permanent kink. It took better part of that aftrrnoon looking around at everything.
