I think I saw that advertised – looks good for the money. Can’t wait to see the progress

Ok Cool. What’s the low end torque like with that setup? I like single port motors – best one I ever had was a SP 2110.

Thanks Simon. Good to see you too. Jack loves being out in a Beetle, always has. It’s one of the only ways I can engage him these days, but whatever works!! We never made it to Stansted – a cut through on the Selsey Road was all it took, call of the beach too strong.

I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about the trip ?

That combo sounds great. What’s the specs on a 1914 baby tractor?

Ohhhh man!!! Thank you thank you thank you JJ!! I love 68 bay windows and have owned a few 🙂 So great you’ve got our backs and the bed idea sounds amazing.

This is gonna be so awesome and soooo much appreciated!

We’ve been looking and planning some – I’m trying to adjust Jo’s expectations of organising EVERYTHING before we go – she works in the travel industry and I call her my HOP (Highly organised person).

It’ll be so awesome to have our freedom to explore – I think we’ll take in some Colorado sights, then head to Moab a couple days early to hit the national parks..?! Hot springs are definitely on the cards too if we get time.

Spent all weekend planning and doing last minute shopping etc – still can’t really believe I’ll be there in five days!!

Been a crazy few weeks but I’ve made a lot of progress.

Decided to go to town on the tinware:

Got the engine back in, then had to pull it again as it had been put together with an old clutch that was slipping badly.

Then I straightened the front bumper out and restored both license plates with new aluminium backing plates.

After backing it into a post and repairing the wing/fender, I got it inspected then taped off and polished half the car with Meguiars products so it could be displayed at the Volksworld show.

It’s now on daily driver status. Lots more stuff to do, but I’m enjoying driving it.

Can’t wait to head out to KCW next week for my visit. Can’t believe I’ll be at the shop in person after all these years!

One of the best looking patina trucks. The rolling shot from the driver’s rear is the one that did it for me.

Yeah that rolling shot was my desktop for about 5 years!
