My little VW adventures…

So, to awake your imagination, i decided to share with you one link. It’s your personal bug creator. If you have interesting design or got any ideas share it with everybody…

http://www.busselecta.com/ – you can create not only bugs, but buses and 356s too…

http://www.volkswarenhaus.de/bugselecta.htm – direct link… mine is “up to 78” model (at least the most similar one).

Bring it on…

I still can’t decide on color. I think that after all the welding, new paint will be essential and i would like to plan it as soon as possible, because the paint decides the interior and many other looks… Red and white, blue and white… These are my favorites now… Although my family thinks, that present colour is great…

As i hoped to take bug to the service, i drove to school with him. I was really nice to know and hear, how many people were enjoying the look of it. I haven’t heard any bad comments and i hope the bug made someone smile, because this is that it’s all about… maybe not all but most…

Almost of you know, Sunday is our repair day and yesterday was no excuse. From previous post you already know, that there were some parts bought a lot of other things to do…

The first job i did on Saturdays night was the air filter fitting. With a little force i managed to seat it inside. Despite that I haven’t felt any changes for the driving quality yet…

Another job jog we did was headlamps adjusting and their rims attaching. That was a horrible job and now i know why. Some lazy ass welder was to lazy to fix the inner of headlamp correctly and all the fitting places were ruined. It was impossible to fit the lamp itself and eyebrows were easily falling and moving . We made some custom attaching places and fixed the situation for now, but it’s very temporally. You can see good and bad headlamp place here:

Bad and Good. (One can see that from the smoothness…)

The other important thing we done was the windshield washing system… As you probably know, i got no original one, so i had to use one from VW Golf Mk2… It’s also very temporally, because the tank itself doesn’t fit good and i want to keep this original.

The water flow is turned on by a button we made. We didn’t want to ruin the interior, that is why we made custom one. It looks like a NOS button, so i like it… Sure, it will be changed in the future…

I also changed muffler heads. they were really rusty and i hope these will be better…

In these pictures you can see old and new ones.

There were a lot of other thing we did, but the biggest was door adjusting. There were a huge hole between door and body. We fixed that, but now it’s impossible to close the door correctly… ech…

We also fitted a new stereo… well, maybe not stereo… but at least something… Juozas made a 12V to 9V converter and now the deck can be powered from the battery itself.

Most of the works here were done by Juozas, because i realised, that i have no experience and skill that we need now, but i hope to contribute more later. Another thanks to Juozas.
