Got the tranny out and clean up the case. Forgot to take an after photo. While I had the tranny out I replaced the tranny fluid, all 3 mounts and the ground strap

Couple of thoughts, maybe its just me but I like the look of the big tires. Do they rub ?

Also I have a friend who had his garage floor epoxied and it came out amazing and is wasn't that expensive.

Enjoy the ride !

Yes, the big tires rub when making tight turns. I have been debating trying to ...

Been trying to get into the garage at least an hour a night a couple days a week.

Pulled the engine and cleaned the engine bay today. Tomorrow i am pulling the trans. While I have everything out I will be doing the following

Engine
- fuel lines
- spark plug wires
- new clutch
- checking valves ...

Kick ass. So amped to see this thing getting back on the road.
Having a garage at home makes life SO much nicer too.
Garage looks like a nice space, I need to do a floor like that in mine.

Thanks. Floor is very easy to install. Was going to go with the bare concrete but it was in worse shape then ...

Finally getting back into the swing of things after barely touching this car for almost 2 years.

I sold my bus last spring to help buy a home in Long Beach. After months of working on the house it was time to work on my 2 car garage. The previous owners used the garage as a home gym so two walls ...

Yup. Haven’t done much work to it. Been busy with work

I finally got the oval steering column and steering wheel in. Also making progress on the wiring harness

Finally started working on the beetle again. I'm in middle of putting in a new wiring harness, new fuel lines, and putting in a correct steering column/ steering wheel. I also have all my locks in California getting rekeyed and cleaned up.

After almost 6 weeks I received my license plates from the DMV. The previous owner thought there was some shifting issues turns out all it needed was a new clutch cable and Bowden tube. Stay tuned for more updates soon.

When I got the car it had some shifting issues. I ran a new clutch cable and gave it an adjustment and that seemed to do the trick. Im probably going to need a new clutch sooner rather than later. I got this aftermarket over sized nut and it made life so much easier.

I know I still have to get seatbelts in and the front headlights working

Not really sure what I exactly want to do with it. I went last week to get it registered and it’s going to take the DMV 5 weeks to get me plates. They are backed up from the pandemic. Once I get it completely registered and inspected I will finalize a game plan. I have some wiring issues to sort out ...

I just brought home a 57 oval window. It is a bit of a Frankenstein vehicle. it is sitting on a 69 irs pan. it is very solid only area that needs attention is the passenger side pan.I will probably sand down some of the car to get down to original paint and get rid of the boat light, giant tires and ...

Debating on lowering the bus. Any suggestions?

A couple of weeks ago Manny and I out in safari windows

Seats look great. Love the ...

Just the way it's resting

I saw 2 restored split windows within an hour of each other on Friday morning. Anyone know whose they are and has anyone else seen any split windows on the island that dosen't regularly attend the VW shows?

I wouldn't do the stock muffler on a 2L....Too restrictive. Have you checked out the options form Vintage Speed? I have only heard good things.

The problem you are going to have is that most non restrictive options are ...

Looking for a new exhaust. What I am currently running is extremely loud. Looking for a quieter option. Any suggestion?
