Oh forgot to mention that I rewired my horn and installed a hidden stereo.  I will post pics of the finished product later.  I still need to find out where I want to fit the speakers in so they can be heard but not seen.  Any suggestions are welcome.  CHC3252012-06-11 12:14:23

Yes it is much more difficult.

Laughing here Roy. Didnt mean to jump the gun, but was a little excited for you. Heck if it was old Detroit iron you could throw on some shackles and run G50s on her. Hard to adapt that concept to a VW.

Patience Mike, patience.  I’m busy working on tires & sag.  Wheels and adapters are mounted but the big 185/80/14 tires interfere with the rear fenders due to some rear end sag that I didn’t notice before.  I’ll put up pictures and a narrative soon.  

Roy,what route did you go to attache the adapters to the drums? We need some photos here. I and I am sure many others have been following this project for awhile. However you worked this out ,I am glad you are reaching your goal.

I think we all have been distracted from the original post about a BCW by a long legged girl!:lol:

Welcome Tex,  Hope you find a good ride/project.  My father lives not far from you in Dumas.  There is a show there every year and I am venturing out a little more and may go to that show.  Like TexAg said always good see a fellow Texan. 

Thanks, it’s been a lot of fun.  My son has taken claim to the car and made sure to tell anyone that stopped by even the judges that it was NOT for sale.  LOL

Congratulations!!!!! That’s a great looking car!!!

the guy in the t shirt or maybe a long legged girl in shorts and no t shirt.

You looking for the long legged girl in the shorts or the guy in the T shirt?

Mike…not many long legged girls near you?

Paul I called him ..I beleive he was asking $11,000.-

Nice looking car.Too bad he doesn’t list an asking price

Almost finished with my wire wheel project.  I have the new wires installed on MiGi with 4 185HR14″.  These tires are a bit too large and I would prefer 175/80/14’s.  The 185’s on the wire wheels are shot and I need some new rubber: I’ll be out another $500.  I still have the 165/80/15″ tires that were on the old steel wheels and they are like new…[Read more]

Ah, “Old No. 140.”The gas tank on these projects is a VW stock tank turned end to end with the filler neck removed and re-welded at the opposite corner. Not too tough a job, but not exactly easy either. Wonder why the top doesn’t latch….And what engine it has.

I cant count the times I have been “distracted” by a long legged girl.:D

“was distracted by a long legged girl in shorts” – Greg, you rascal you

Do any of you guys have the rubber bumper things that limit the upward motion of the axle in the rear?  The PO must have removed mine (maybe because it was bottoming out all the time due to incorrect torsion bar setting?).  The fronts are alive and well, but the rears are missing in action.   Allen and RockyX, if I were building a kit, I would be…[Read more]
