Yes it is took 4 of us to get the passenger side rear one in.

finished the flipped spindles

Finally figured out a good way to put a cup holder in a beetle



I got the flywheel from the 66 turned down to day, Nice and smooth

Rebuilt the brake caliper that was dragging on my '76 Westy. The inboard piston was seized. Cleaned it up and installed new gaskets.

Thats on my long range plan too.

Got the new engine in the bus. Cranked it up for about a minute. F#%^*{] oil light stayed on. Quit for the night. Going to troubleshoot today when I get off work.

Lowered the front of the SP2 some. Wish I knew how to lower the back!

Pulled the motor out, replaced the transmission mounts. cleaned up the engine compartment and put the motor back in. Took her for a test drive around the block.

Replaced the front shocks (again like the rear they just completely collapsed and would not return) and replaced one of the brake light switches so I have brake lights again. The front shocks raised the front about an 1" bringing it higher than I want it to be.

Drove the SP2 some last night. Trying to get some miles on the new engine finally.

looking nice!

Rotated the tires on the 71....

Pulled the new engine out of the Jolly Rancher today before work. Fixed the oil light by replacing the switch yesterday. Fired it up for 15 min break in and all seemed well. Let her cool down to adjust valves. Could barely turn the motor. Fired it up this morning and oil light is back. Think it has a pinched bearing or something. I'll be taking it back tomorrow or early Wed. Not fun five days out from a 5000 mile trip.

Been pluggin' away at the bus.......slowly but surely.

Installed new new engine in the Jolly Rancher.

Washed it & drove it.......

'tis the season to be drivin fa la la la.

Installed fuel pressure regulator and pressure gauge.

Put about 80 miles on The Jolly Rancher today. Running good so far.

Changed my exhaust out for the third time and figured out that I didn't get the points engaged inthe pivot hole when I installed them. When I went for a drive last week for the first time, it started running bad then died. Got it fixed and started it back up again.

Washed and waxed the SP2. Just need a quick vacuum before YU Buggin now.

Anyone got a quick fix for leaking push rod tubes before tonight

Just saw the Jolly Rancher cruising through McDonough. That new engine must be working out fine.

Got the turn signal indicator in the dash working, put the new window cranks on, ripped the dash pad off and installed a cd player with a couple of bookshelf speakers in the back until I replace the interior and put in actual car speakers.
