tomo is a work day. hopefully we can get the body off the pan and get the spring plates notched. the brake lines run. the fuel line, that doesnt exist, run. then the tie rods cut and put back on. steering box hooked up. then we can get the engine put in. and get her running!!!

your welcome mann!

i agree it looks sweet up there!

now all you need is a bunch of luggage and a cooler to go up there!!

ok then. just let us know when. txt me or somethin!

today we got the body off the pan and got all the brakes done. there are a few things that we are picking up from lindy's shop tomorrow. then hopefully we will get the engine mounted. i can't wait to get her done. i think i should be able to drive it in the next couple days!! cant wait!!

im really bummed out! today was a really frustrating day. we almost got the engine cranked tonight it has a bad fuel pump. im getting fed up with it. i think i need to get some sleep. and take a break. i have literally stayed up until 2:00 every night for the past week. we need to get a brake reservoir, a throttle cable and tube. and a brake pedal stop. it should be on the road by late next week.

sounds great man. get the VW on the road. get some rest.

im bummed. today i had to run all over the place doin stuff for prom tomorrow night. and i didnt get my car running. im so upset. it feels like its one thing after another is going wrong with this car. i just cant get it done!

Man, well prom is fun.. This your last yr?
Im sure you will get her up and running soon. Always best to take your time with something you care about rather than cheat your way up fast.

yeah BAPS is every year,but the prom your senior year it only comes once so enjoy bro and brtha can roll t the ATL WAGENS SHOW(PEACE LOVE AND BUGS)next weekend, but you still got im to get bertha running so get to work

yea so i decided that im not going to school tomo. since no one is because of prom. and imma work on my car in the morning then get cleaned up and go to prom. so hopefully in that allotted amount of time i can drive her! we got the throttle tube installed and the throttle cable. all that we need is fuel and a battery. its gonna be pushin it

Today i got the generator swapped for an alternator. I think she should be running soon. all she needs is a battery and a positive cable. and i need a piece of hose to hook up the fuel line.

hopefully she can make it to peace love and bugs. i cant wait to drive it.

Well I'm glad to see your working on it. You got enough time so you will be riding Bertha to the show. Can't wait to see it. Good luck
