Long time with no posting. Time to get up to speed on things.

Bug in need of lots of love awhile back. Redid front, new beam, cleaned tank, new fuel lines, raised it up in rear, removable apron and some interior love. Bunch of misc things to get this bug a driver and looking better.

A little buggy love on a previous project. Needed a new tank and a few minor things.

Last bit of work on this ghia. Owner wanted an aluminum dash to go with the theme. Dash, wiring, misc stuff this time around. Turned out good. Been doing work on this ghia for years. Its fast and fun. Think hes finally content with how it all turned out. Time to just enjoy it.

Beam work. 2" with Mostly all new parts. Easy enough but narrowing the greasy spring packs are never fun. I hate 50+ year old grease, lol. These damn king pin carriers nowadays are horrible fit also. I could just also them together but a sanded down shim alleviates the crazy slop. Clean work mostly and I like it, lol.

A little work on this cool bug. Cheap parts and bad welds on cross shaft caused clutch failure. Found a bunch of other things also like oil cooler leak, end play set wrong" wrong bowden tube, broken studs, etc. Some love, cleaning, paint and all was good again. It's the little things that keep these things on the road.

Some ghia love from back in January. This thing showed up from out of state in bad shape. Would barely run or idle, tr**ny was almost out of gear oil, brakes horrible, wiring a mess. Was just a accident waiting to happen. With alot of work and a little patience it all came together. Now it can be enjoyed like it should be. Sucks people sell cars like this online to people who don't know any better. Lying for $. It's sad. The huge smile on her face when she drove away is what keeps me doing this. đŸ˜€
