Perfect.

I started yesterday with changing the ignition switch. Then put a few decals on, battery cover and strap installed, painted hinge covers,  windlace holders, and vent knobs.

Is the regulator decal correct? Where should these go?

3 Batman LEGO kits, 1 bottle of Malibu rum, and $1750?

Yep! That is what I was afraid of. Once you break all the bolts and nut plates you cannot put it back together until it’s fixed.

Cool $500 car you have there. 😁

I was serious about doing some work. We have space for dirty shop rust and/or paint project right now. But man, fixing all that stuff is going to be expensive.

Alright! Let’s finish this.

Is that this truck? Late mirror, black bumper, painted hubcaps?

Rusty please finish the split window beetle out back before starting more dumb stuff. Focus son! Do you want to buy the buggy engine that Will left under my bench??? It needs to find a new home. Stuff is in our way.

Will has like 15 cars here that he can’t sell. Its silly.

That bus is dead. Let it rest.

The vert looks promising though…

Yeah, that was ridiculously fun. I think we all ran into the fence at least one time.

Let me know if you need help fixing stuff or raking gravel. 🙂

Beetle hood seals worked on the door frame tops. We need to figure out vent wing seals, I tried cargo door seals and they were too fat.

Been waiting weeks to put the final touches on.

Made a fuel tap extension, and painted letters this morning.

Proper drive yesterday evening. Got through all the gears. Shes a ripper! I’m stoked on how it drives, stops, and steers.

Seems like the front suspension is sagging a bit. Maybe has a broken spring?..hard to imagine, it looks like it was just rebuilt. I could disassemble and flip the springs if the ride height bothers you.

Installed generator vent strap, and JB welded an original fuel pump top to the pierburg unit.

Dome light wire clips. Original BD single cab on the right. Beetle felt channel clip on the left worked.

 

 

Doing some research on door seals and fuel tap extension this morning. Noticed that the hole is marked with reserve auf and zu.

Damn! Big nut boxes are pain in the ass to work on. You probably will have to take the whole axle tube off to get at the freeze plug and nut that retain the stub axle.

Sometimes we weld a bolt or chain to the plug to pull it with a slide hammer, sometime we hammer a chisel through and destroy it. Have fun! 🙂

Thats impressive! I assume Ice is much harder to work with than snow.
