So i had talked myself out of buying one of these which made the wife happy but then I went through this thread... Fml...

Car looks great and good work so far, can't wait to see more

Is this one of the rare ones that had factory A/C? I can't remember which ones did, and which ones didn't. Either way, nice little bug, good work.

this one had an A/C fresh air knob in the dash when i got it, but since the engine was switched out with an older one the compressor isnt in it anymore obviously.

New fuel filter also

So I made a to do list. OCD forced me to write it in word instead of just writing in the thread. Sorry for so many pics.




















Euro plate and unfinished coke chest that will be on the roof.

In that particular set of photos im using a combo of a Nikon D300S and a Nikko 35mm F/1.8. All of the photos I've taken in the thread have either been with the 35 or a 16-35mm F/4.

I wish I could go back to when I got it and instead, get a 7D with a 35mm 1.4.

Next week im trading in the 16-35 for a 50 1.4 + extra money from the 16-35

So when adjusting the valves and timing and stuff, one of those bolts that holds the oil screen thing on the bottom of the block is stripped and leaking oil. Also we discovered the engine will need to be rebuilt next year if its to last.

UPDATE:

Could possibly be selling the beetle.
I found an older model in the color I wanted to painted this one with everything working and better pans and everything basically. For about half the price I paid for this one. So thats that. plus i screwed my finger on a lathe today so no updates on the yellow for a while.

take a look.
