Got me a VW..... - sassparilla_kid - 05-25-2014
Traded our '92 Jetta for a '73 Beetle, sort of apart right now but there's extra parts inside, and the guy still has a bunch of parts for it as well that he couldn't get to. Shall, he has an aftermarket VW parts company and says he'll let me have any stiff I need about at cost. Another car added to the queue..

So what's the plan?
I had dreamt of a beetle body on a 4x4 jeep chassis with a front engine turbodiesel.
It'd be so much work but I'd drive that until the day I die (most likely behind the wheel of said vehicle).

Just out of curiosity, why in the world do you want a beetle?
RE: Got me a VW..... - sassparilla_kid - 05-27-2014
Not sure what direction it's gonna go, still up in the air. And I wanted it more than I wanted a '92 Jetta sitting in our yard, and also because German cars are the best and apparently I'm a masochist because this makes 5 project vehicles lol

because nothing in the world is easier to fix and tinker with than an old air cooled vw. of course nothing needs as much minor tinkering as an old air cooled on a regular basis.
i remember with my ghia i fixed that sob 20 or 30 times on the side of the road with electrical tape and sandpaper and other crap. it is an old design definitely

Still need to get the stupid truck running, had to other a new carb (Holley 2300) because mine was junk and I didn't feel like rebuilding it, so basically everything above the block is gonna be new or rebuilt. Also discovered the whole throttle pedal and linkage was garbage too so I need to fix that, along with the steering column, before it can even be driven anywhere under its own power
