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

Re: 57 oval
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 ...

Re: 57 oval
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 ...

Re: 57 oval
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 ...

Re: 57 oval
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.

Re: 57 oval
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.

Re: 57 oval
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.

Re: 57 oval
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 ...
