Back in the scene...I missed you all :)

[Phat73VW]

I finally got my baby back after being away from me for nearly 2 years. she has been wrenched on and stored away for a bit due to moving and lack of parking space at the house but she finally came home last night. I feel like a newbie now cause i have been away from the aircooled scene for so long. She is going to be revamped for the next show season but here is what she looks like currently.(well sorta)


I cant wait to talk to you all again and get her back in the groove of things.

Glad your back, man..

Your car is one of my motivations for my 78 vert..

i wish i could say it looks like that still but it doesnt......it sat outside at the shop i left it at for the entire time. The top held up very well but the paint was destroyed by the california sun. i will post pics of it soon.. but i must warn you its not pretty... they even managed to mess up my front bumper so i have to replace that as well as the whole paint job. but i have started to disassemble it to get ready for paint. the car on the GERMAN LOOK.com cover page makes me want to paint it black.. but ohh what a pain it will be to own a black car in california. im still up in the air about it but i am pretty sure it will stay red. but you never know.....

Peace Troy
I got my brother a cover for his truck from pep boys was like $30..
He put it in his truck & never used it (Parked for 2.5yrs)
I still give him a hard time about that one...

i just actually bought some new turtle wax today to see if i could bring back some shine to the paint that was oxidized....man oh man what a differance it made on the SHINE!!!! i am actually not embarrassed to drive it around now. after 2 coats on the whole car its looks great.. i am still gonna have to redo the hood cause it was spider webbing before i parked it and then over time it lifted and got real ugly around the hood handle area. i will have pics up later of her current state but she is looking a whole lot better now....Thanks Turtle Wax...you just saved me the hassle of getting it painted sooner... ....ahhhhh who am i kidding im still gonna repaint sooner...lol

I love that car.. i loved the wheels that were on it before.. definately will have to get those back on there. It makes me want a vert.

dont know you personaly, but your one of the first germanlook bug I have seen in USA, deffinitely one of the best vert in the scene.

Well there's an old favorite if i've ever seen one! Good to see that your back on the VW train, not like you had a choice, once your hooked, thats it! I've been very slowly getting back on. I bought a $300 71' a year ago, and just over the winter have I been able to get a motor for it. It now has new CV boots, and fresh grease in the CVs, (that was fun), urathane gearbox mounts, and a rebuilt 1.6L, ported/polished stock heads, with k-duds. I got a sweet deal on some OEM KS cylinders/pistons, so I might drop it again to slap those on. Just need a wiring wiz to go through the electrical. I've fiddle to the point of insanity and still don't have the slightest clue...it's probably something beyond simple that I'm just overlooking. So technically, it's not quite road worthy, oh, and the paint and interior is lacking too much to list. I start a new job in two weeks, finally all this school is paying off, and i still have a semester to go! Anyways, once the wiring is figured out and I can get these carbs tuned, I'll be on the road. Really good to see your back on the boards Brian, if it wasnt for this place, I don't know where i was release my VW dreams. Oh, and i saw you tried to PM me, but my browser though you were a pop-up, hit me a e-mail sometime, we should hit up an up coming show one of these days. Laterz!
