Well Naomi has wanted one since she was in 2nd grade. She is now in 8th grade top 5% of her school state A Student. So Rachel and I picked up her car. Thing is she has to help with the build and not sit by and watch.
It's a standard 66 bug from Oregon. Has some Cancer here and there. But i have friends that can help there.
But onto some project pics.
1 Very happy child.
Defiantly going to be a long project. Well 2 years till she will be driving.
7/24/10-
NAomi actually working on her car.
Naomi and Rachel pulling gas tank
Tank out
Fresh from spa dogs want to play.
A mess to clean, and thats just one spot.
Some months back, Picked up 2 1300cc stock motors, One with all parts needs a few thing to run, IE fuel pump distributor and wire and plugs, Long block has the fuel pump, a 12 volt generator and stand. and will be used as a core down the road. for a newer motor.
2/23/11
Picked up POP OUT rear 1/4 windows, 50 for the set all parts. But with age need new ruber seals (30-40 bucks) and hinge chome needs some wort. but new the kits go for 350-450 new. and theseare original German glass and great condition.
3/3/11 FINALLY GETTIGN TO START ORDERING SOME PARTS.
Ordered new front beam, with adjusters welded in, stock to 3"lower, spindle to spindle rebuild. all German parts.
