progress has already begun. the battery tray was gone. I cut a peice and thats fixed, found 2 more small holes. fixing those tomorrow. then coating the entire floor with a truck bed liner.
spent most the afternoon figuriing out a the drivers side window regulator and stripping the floors with screw drivers and a wire wheel on the grinder.
:thumbup: i see it now. must be nice to have a local vw mechanic. Lee's is bout 35miles from me. I got to find some one to do the window seals in the oval.
Havnt updated for a while,
The 1641 is almost done. There has actually a little more progress since these pics, the fan housing has been mounted, the ignition coil was mounted, I gotta get some heater boxes from a friend this weekend then I can pull the J pipes and put the breast plate on.
not really a fan of the exhaust but it works for now, and sounds awesome!
Not sure if your at work but the beetles outside my job today. Where you saw the cabby.
Yea, I might take the tape off after I put the motor in. I'm scared that quality empi chrome will rust before I get there though.
hell yeah, I will definitely have to cruise by and take a peek. I have always wanted to see it in person. I should have drove my beetle today, oh yeah I have no heat lol.
Im leaving at 1:30. Your more then welcome to check it out. Nothing real special. I can cruise up your way after work to and introduce myself. Also, we're taking our pup to the dog park at Cleveland park tomorrow morning if you wanted to bring yours out that would be cool.
oh yeah, the dog park is in walking distance from my house. I will definitely head that way. You could cruise by after you get off, only thing is our office lot is not low-friendly. lol, but ill shoot over my number and you can gimmie a shout tomorrow when you head out to the dog park.
I wanted to but I kinda doubt it.
Yea, I really don't like leaving my cars where I can't see them sometimes. My beetle doesn't lock and I'm scared as hell someone will cut my top on my cabby. That's why I usually drive my bumper car Camry.
Sam, did you text me this weekend? I didnt know the number.. then was like, well maybe it was Sam. But i didnt know because somebody stole the phone that had your number saved in it. lol :wave:
Hell to the yeah on the motor. Remember, pics.. or it didnt happen. :laugh:
I got mixed emotions on the white walls. They look killer on some cars. Just not sure about mine.
The rack is beautiful. It doesn't match the rest of the car. At all. Going to either have to powder coat the other one or paint the rear. Not sure what I want to do.
Thanks for the compliment though.
i say powder coat the black one to mach the OG color one. :thumbup: keepin the OG look.
Smoothies will be sick and the emotion on the white walls is because your thinking of them with the chromes. Once you get the smoothies them make your mind up. port-o-walls are only 60 bucks:thumbup:
powder coat both racks cream to match the wheels. Maybe run some red line tires might look cool with the cream and be diffrent. I think it would look good with the blue patina on the car too but that just my O/P. You going back black with your carpet?
