What did you do to your volkswagen today?

Pulled the motor back out of my bus. Now waiting on the new rings to get here.

Got tires mounted on the new wheels. Now going out in the cold to put them on the car!

There on drove car and rear lights have a short

Cv axle came loose on the bus on the way home from what was a really bad day....Oh well guess it just worked itself loose....I tightened the bolts back down and off we went.....a big thanks goes out to David for coming to the rescue with some tools and light!

Damn!! I get tired just reading all that......

Good job!!

DROVE IT!!!!!!! And had a blast.

was drivin, went to turn right, kept goin straight. the splines on my aftermarket Grant wheel hub stripped, and i had no steering, lol. had to force the wheel sideways for it to grip so i could steer. had to put the ugly stock wheel back on for now.

I sold the 66 square a week or so ago to fund the single that I got put in the garage yesterday. Also sold the 71 ghia and picked up a set of 15" bus rims today. I also started working on fluxcaps spindles. I got them apart and one cleaned up. I should finish them in the morning.

That scares the CRAP!! out of me just thinking of something like that.. Glad your ok!!!

make a racoon stew in the HAYZWGN, gotta replace the lower grill now!!

Drove Warbird to a friends house.
Broke the clutch cable about a mile from his place.
Limped the bug to his house thinking I'd change the cable in his driveway.
Left my spare bug cable in the garage.

Which reminds me, i'm so glad i upgraded to disc brakes. ended up a few inches from a ditch, lol.

Made it back to my car. Took the pedal out and the hook for the clutch cable is broken. Anyone on the south side have a pedal assy I could borrow/buy. Bug is stuck in PTC till I can get one.

Sold my 73 Super today LOOKING FOR A BAY......!

rebuilt the carb and tried to reinstall the glass. No luck on the glass. My wife and daughter were afraid to push any harder. They thought they were gonna break the glass. I'll try again tomorrow.

installed an early model wheel with horn ring (thanks gordon) on my 72 super. it hit the wiper switch arm, so i tried heating it up and bending it back to clear the wheel. worked good, arm was still a little close so i heated it up again, and tried to push it back some more, pushed to hard, and broke the wiper arm off . there's still about 1.5 inches of the arm sticking out, so i can still turn the wipers on, still sucks tho, lol.

I pulled the 17s off the square, changed the rotors and put the four lug rollers on. It's ready to head to Orlando!

time to put the 17s on buga

I want to try and squeeze them on the green square now....not sure if I can make them work though

I figured out the hard way that my slammed 65 doesn't drive worth a crap in the rain. The rear wants to come around. I guess when only an inch of tread is on the road and it's worn some what else could I ask for. I didn't crash but the pucker factor came into the picture a time or two...

I got the 66 running. Ran like crap at first then started trouble shooting backwards and found the choke on the carb is nearly frozen, Played with it a little and got it to run nice. Will order a rebuild kit, but it ran very smoothly. This weekend will be brake rebuild time and maybe a trip to the gas station.

me and drew baker were goin to ksu and i hit a bump and my headlights went out right near a cop.. so i get pulled over didn't get a ticket but he was a dick.

so we check all the fuses and they were fine just the low beams would work

so we look into after we get to ksu and the wire from the relay to the fuse block came off. drew tries to put it back on and it breaks... good thing i had my wiring kit with me we put a new connector on and only one high beam works...

so tomorrow im going to see if it just burnt out or what..

also my fuel gauge hasn't worked for a while and on the way home every bump we hit it would go past full then to half then empty so ill try to figure that out tomorrow also

carefull, my bug did something similar to that where the gauge would bounce around like that too. i eventually took the sending unit out, and it turns out the winding of wire had somehow melted, and was actually burned, like it had actually caught on fire. pretty scary thing to happen in the gas tank. not sayin thats what happened 2 your car, but i'd say its worth a look. also check the connectors on the gauge, and sending units. and also on the ground wire going from the gauge to the body ground.
