Picked up a new project to replace my Beetle. A pretty solid 74 Bus bought it from an older guy that had it on his farm for 25 years. It had one small obvious rust spot and after a thorough inspection forund a couple of other places that needed attention, just one area left to repair below the left rear window. I replaced the front panel since it was in rough shape and had been hammered out by someone that didn't know what they were doing. It was a lot of work to replace but worth the effort, it's taking shape and looking much better.

Bus is looking very good cant wait to see the finished product!

Thanks, I did the last patch tuesday night the area below the left rear window. I happy with the results so far.

Making good progress should be able to start the 2.2 Subaru conversion shortly.

Got back to my project since I had a deadline, the Texas VW classic. made it barely finished the night before the event and left the next morning on a 600 mile round trip with a just finished conversion. Other than a bad oil leak I thought was fixed the trip went well made it home on it;s own power.

Since the last pictures were taken the firewall has been reinstalled.

10 week build.

Wow that's some impressive work!

Thanks I love the ride, still needs more work but now it's a work in progress while I drive it.

Nice ride. I assume you have a radiator under the floor?

Yes the radiator is underneath and works very well. Made some
Changes to streamline the air flow and dropped the temps a little more. I have it up for sale now moving on to another project.
