its better to take your time it will be sick when you finish.

 

my money just came in to do the work tonight about 30 minutes ago.....I may give it a try next saturday to at leat build the floor and wrap it........but I doubt it as it will only get half done due to the amount of work involved......

what I love is we are all going to the show in Portland with cars gutted and half done......next year is gonna rock.......the NW has really worked togehter to make our cars a step beyond the others this year.

 

^^pfft speak for your self... despite all my "i'm gonna get x,y z" done i still have a pile of parts and a long "to do list" and will be lucky if i touch my car (other than to move it out of the way to move things) by january.... on the plus side it is sitting in a fairly large garage that once i get started on something i can leave parts layin around w/o having to worry about weather or theft

 

^always a plus

 

i'm finally working on something new - hopefully

 

Yeah..... A JETTA HAHAHAHA

 

true dat - gotta get that POS running

 

i pick up my new project on saturday
Those of you that know me knew this day was comming...

1973 superbeetle

 

Ahhhhhh the ever fun superbeetle.......I do miss mine....the year was 1986.........it had no brakes........bald tires.........one headlight........but it did have a clutch that somewhat worked and it started almost every time.........I miss that car......it is still at the bottom of the cliffs by the Narrows Bridge


I know it sounds worse than it really was......see there was a small motorcycle trail behind the nursing home that went down to the beach......we all used to park at the end of the road and carry the keg down there and party.

Well we had the bright idea to drive the bug down there.........somehow we made it.......almost.......high centered it at the bottom and buried it in the sand and rocks with about 2 feet of the hill side on one side and a fallen tree on the other.......

Over the years it has been jumped on and walked on and even now still sits there with a tree growing out the floor board..........

What a beautiful car.......best $25 I ever spent.

 

I have done about every popular style of veedub build you can imagine from a restocal rag top to my bajas, a full porsche conersion on a Karman Ghia, to my NUMEROUS water cooled builds but there was always one thing i wanted to do and just never had the chance. A "German look" Beetle...

Big Engine, Big Turbo, Big wheels ( for a bug) and a smoothed body. I'm looking to build another 2275cc turboed toy for her :D

 

2275 in a bug is gonna be a beautiful thing......my old buggy had what ever the popular motor swap.......wanna say 1800?????.....and it blew by hotrods all day long.....was a fun buggy......wonder if I have any pictures of it anywhere.

 

my old 2275 non turbo with dual 52mm webbers was putting out over 200hp.... Can't wait for a 300+ beast

 

I love old school beetles. I have always wanted one. I remember when i was like 2 yrs old riding in my Dads.

 

I'm trying to think of something that I can get for my car, for xmas, any ideas?

 

^air fresh or something big?

 

I get a custom exhaust for x-mas. My wifey is buying it for me. I am doing a magnaflow muffler, exhaust tip and vibrant resonator. I just need a place to fab a catback together with all that stuff. My exhaust will look like this except mine will be 2.5". This one pictured is 3".

 

Not necessarily something too expensive, so mini-big? ~100-200 dollars?

 

^ ScangaugeII and then give it to me

 

I'm thinking about redoing my interior.. I'm trying to decide if I want to keep the Coach look or get something new. Also trying to figure out a good color to two-tone my car.. If i can't figure something out in the paint scheme I'm getting a new car.. lol

 

LOL please dont do green and black. I've already claimed it :-P
