That would be an excellent car for a RV person- light weight to tow, and a fun little ride once you got the RV set up and hooked up

Vw thing or bay window tin top. just incase rv breaks down you have room for the dog and kids my friend has a big rv and wish he didn't have the bug for a pull around once rv/was broke

Went and got the westy registered and insured with YOM tag. Probably several months early but wanted to get it over and done with. Been since 82 since it was tagged.

Good idea people down at that office can and will be difficult at times

I moved Scooter into the garage and got temporary seating and one wheel sandblasted and painted and a tire installed.

hung the bumpers on ghia removed and replace headlight bucket ran it a little and tire type 1 head light rings

Drove my beetle to work and had some a- hole back into the right rear fender and drive off. Oh and the reason I dove it to work is because I was in a four car wreck the night before and there is a good chance my Scion is totaled. People who can't drive should not be allowed on the roads.

Yeah- I can't believe the driver didn't stop and see who owned the Beetle that they hit

I've seen those on the Samba, and wondered if it worked a lot better than a regular roller pedal- are you using a cruiser pedal in front of it?

After not working for about 10 years, my odometer and trip meter magically started working yesterday. Funny. Too bad it is still in Kilometers.

Im not using the cruiser pedal - but after testing it out yesterday i would recommend it, feels like a real car pedal now
Not to sound like the dudes commercial but it really does eliminate any sideways movement and the accel cable doesn't have to bend as much coming out of the tunnel wich makes it feel a lot smoother.

My '57 came with 2 options, one was the cruiser pedal- when I tell people that the gas pedal was an option in '57, they give me the strangest look- also, the gas gauge was an option too- I've never added one so I have to rely on the reserve tap

Got a couple coats of epoxy and hi build on the bus. Glad to be at the blocking stage on this thing.

Nice. U shoot shopline on it

Yeah got tired of buying DP. Followed it with Slicksand.

slick sand is some bad stuff and it will set up in the cup

That's awesome man. such a huge change from when you got it.

I only mix a quart at a time due to that. As much as it took to cover it there was no shelf time as I was spraying the entire time.
