some more:




a couple of hundred hrs later...she got some paint..then the rest is history...i'm gonna drop it off at Loosenuts house anyways

[LooseNuts]

i hope the vise grip is still not apart of the suspension. if it is i can add them to my collection






On a real note; damn Tim you did a lot of work.
I bet you got more then 4k-5k into that thing.

[Schell R32]

those there 'grips you see are all color matched for you!!!

on serious note...see that trans in the pics?....i was told it was a full tilt race box...hence the Dana 60 flanges poking out....so i didn't question it...

until i took it apart..stone stock with a spool...sent it out,waited 11 months..it came to me in a hefty bag with the nose cone broken off...wait it gets better....

for 5k!...it blew up 4 days later while spitting an axle flange out the side...ripping off the entire drivers side of the car,suspension and ruining th r/p,diff and other bs in the trans...we sued him for another...never was right he closed shortly after...lesson learned.

back to the drawing board...put a stocker in it...detuned the s--t out of the motor and drove it a few times and she sat.

..bought another...redid the whole car after sitting for 2yrs and the here she is...what a trip this thing has been.

It's getting there. I need to remove the rear spring plate and move it a few splines on the passenger side. Installed 4" drop plates without the help of an angle finder, so the driver side is perfect. the passenger side: not so much.

I just got her two-ish months back, I set the valves and she runs great, but I can't drive it yet because the brake lights and reverse lights don't work. When I get that fixed, (I suck at wiring) I'll get her back on the road for the first time since 1987. A family friend restored her recently, but wasn't able to finish everything before I got it.

Could you shoot me an email or reply with a little help on wiring, I need to get my brake lights and reverse lights working on my 74 Beetle, would you know what the problem is?

Hi Garrett ,
Without more info than just an exterior pic of the car 1st guess is a lack of grounds to the lights themselves otherwise one or the other would probably work on their own unless a total of 3 switches all magicly managed to fail at the same time.
My 1st thought was just to refer you directly to Chirco to have the work done http://www.chirco.com/ but then did a little sniffin' around to find that Gilbert is ~100mi away from there ,so in the meantime here's a readable diagram of a 1972:

from
http://www.vintagebus.com/wiring/index.html
(close,not exactly the same as yours,but waaay easier to read than the 1973> diagrams ).
In the meantime sign up @ http://www.chircoestore.com/catalog/smf/index.php to be able to more directly connect with ACVW people/clubs in your area ala http://www.azbaja.com/ http://www.chircoestore.com/catalog/...p?topic=1445.0 & DHP http://dhpvw.com/blog/ for more direct/local handson help .

[Yautjaamedha]

Thanks, as soon as I get back over to Drews house, (my friend whos house the car is at) I will get some pictures of the wiring, I think someone just threw it together at some point. Thanks for the diagram, when I get home I will print it out and see If I can figure anything out. Also, I suspect it is a ground issue, the fuses are good, I replaced them all.

And my 1970 Beetle. I acquired this car from a forum member, drove it twice and had a valve seat fall out of the head. Turns out I was lied to by the PO about alot of things on this car, and its been in the shop FOREVER.
