VW engine

It's clear that this Beetle has seen some work over the years. Turns out the engine stamp indicates that it was originally from a VW Type III Fastback --- which would perhaps indicate that it's a 1600cc engine and not the stock 1500cc that 1967 Beetles had.

A fine mess

I've been logging a little more time on my VW project --- over the holiday's I've pulled the engine. I'm currently in the process of removing all of the bolts connecting the body to the chassis. I'm hoping to get the body off by the end of January. The mystery right now --- where to store the body of the bug -- without annoying the neighbors.

Bugout 62

Spent the afternoon at the 62nd BugOut in Manassas. Watched drag racing, checkout out the show cars, ate 'Ice Cream of the Future' - good fun with my boy. Spent a little more time examining what kind of repair panels are available to resolve rust issues in my '67 Beetle. The Bug Outs seem to have a sales area for the professionals -- and a second area which seems more like a flea market. Clearly you need to know what you are looking for, and which version is better quality.
