Re: I've got the bug!
Nice score on the beetle wade!
Is it a red car painted black? hows the rust?
what do you got to do it get it running? full rebuild?

I'm assembling the engine this weekend and also pulling the tranny to clean it up. It was originally red but has a sub par flame respray ( I will eventually strip and paint it)I will have to weld in some new floor pans but I just want to get it running first.

Re: I've got the bug!
Nice Wade, good progress. That's a cool generator stand BTW.
I may be wrong here, but are those pushrod tubes reversed, or does it matter on those?

I wasn't sure. But you might be correct. I will look into it.

Well I flipped the push rod tubes. I also pulled the tranny. I think it's got a few seal leaks.

Take it to the car wash! That's where I get my trannies clean 

It's not how fast you go. It's how well you go fast.

Re: I've got the bug!
First thing is to drench it in degreaser, scrape it and degrease it again. Then the car wash I go. That stuff is thick.
