My garage buddy, Sylvester. Bikes below. Street fighter sold, picking up a Ducati 1100 scrambler. Old 93 Dakota, with 572 Hemi.
We have owned the VW since the late 90's and I picked away at a half hearted restoration ever since. I would often just let it sit for long periods of time then rekindle and go like a house afire and do stuff.
I actually lost interest in the car for some time after the second MGB showed, we had kids in college etc and I recently decided to get back to it.
The remaining tasks are not a big deal and I will hire it all out finally.
The Beetle status:
All the mechanical stuff on the chassis has been done, steering, shocks, brakes etc, the front end has dropped from axles with disc brakes. New heater channels years ago, always stored inside since, floors are excellent.
Body is painted, new body seals, window seals, door seals..
Original wheels with new tires.
This will certainly not be a big ta-do for a qualified shop.
I have made arrangements for a local Air-Cooled VW shop to do the work. I am getting very encouraged and excited about getting this going.
New interior throughout :
New original style seat covers are on, front and back, need seats installed
New headliner done
New door panels, not installed
New carpet set, not installed
Needs carpet underlayment/sound deadening, need advice there...
Needs:
Front lid lock cable/wire installed, latch adjusted
Gas cap door release cable/wire installed, Install new glove box which the release lever attaches to
New wipers, need to be installed with new seals etc (I have all these items)
Heater cables/wire installed
Carb tuned/replaced
Engine tuned and we can go from there
New battery, I will purchase prior to bringing to you or you can supply one, up to you.
New Bumpers, one installed, I guess I can put the other one on. :)
New running boards, not installed, I will do them after all the other inside work has been completed.
Thinking Panasport alloy wheels too. Just to do it. :wink:
More later,
Rob
