Progress, and setbacks.

Bumper is pushed in...before:



After:





Water pump and thermostat are in progress. However, it is a bitch to replace. I found that I had to get the lower timing cover off. To do that, you have to remove the top cover (easy) the crank pulley (had a bolt that did not want to come out, drilled and removed) the pump pulley (got lucky on those bolts) then I could remove the assembly.

With the assembly out, 5 bolt heads snapped off when trying to separate the pump from the housing. I got those out except for 2 of them. I'm thinking I'm going to get a new pump with the housing, instead of just the pump. Maybe I'll just drill the old ones out and tap, I dunno

I'm probably not going to find snowflakes locally, or RA's. But I'll keep looking.

^ This I think Tires are getting popped off today, and I'll see what my options are.

Check out Tire Rack. That's the place I got the tires for the Beetle. They typically have the odd ball sizes.

Thanks Wade, I'll check TR out. I've gotten a couple of good deals there as well.
