Some pictures from last weekend




Now some little things to do like:

- Install oil pressure gauge (sender already on order)
- Install oil temperature gauge
- Replace oil lines (already bought)
- Fix the indicators and high beam

Thumbs up!

Clean beetle!

I really like the gas burners, they go really will with the car too.

Thanks man, I appreciate it

I've really been getting the itch to do a beetle here recently, this isn't helping. Car looks amazing! Simple and clean always looks good.

Runs like a dream Pulls like a John Deere

I literally love every aspect of your car (including the fact that you saved it from rotting out), except for the wheels.

Thank you is all i can say!

[FABEL]

it always makes me proud to see an old car saved like this. you've done something great here & can tell you certainly enjoy making the most out of what was originated as such a simplified car.

total respect.

Jaw dropped reading this! Seriously, when I saw the rust you had to deal with and the results, I almost refused to believe it! Amazing work!

beetle is sick! gotta have one. why the low compression ratio with the rebuild?

The CR is high enough with this camshaft. And I would like to keep everything in one piece
