Got me a VW.....
Got me a VW.....
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..
larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Oh you californians and your rust free 70s cars

Rust free California car with additional undercoating!!
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).
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

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
