And Don't Think I Forgot

That's right! She's back in full force people!!!! And she's fast. Well, she's fast for a 1966 VW Beetle.

I'm very excited. I was sad to see the '55 go, but I had to what I had to do.

I'll get a better side view in the day light tomorrow...ish. In the mean time, notice the exhaust pipes? 'little large! I dig 'em.



But it's a very clean little car. There are some small dents in the LF fender, and it looks as the though the car was tapped in the front and rear at some time. They were put back together pretty well. Not too bad anyway. The previous owner was a hot rod guy with a shop around the corner (lost interest) and actually had the bug sitting in his brothers body shop when I found it covered in dust.




The 1300cc was running, and the car almost made it home the day I bought it. Electrical problems stopped me that time. A few days later the engine just took a great big 'ol crap on the way home from work. At which point I decided a tow hitch was in my immediate future.




Maybe I should have pulled the poster of Dale Earnhardt down before I took the picture.




Needs carpet and head liner. Possibly some new seats one day.




This is the engine that I finally got in the bug. Purty aint it? I need to clean up the fire wall but otherwise I'm very pleased.
