Piney Woods VW Show!
November 20th, 2007
Hey, I got to attend the local Piney Woods VW show, and here are a few of my favorite images:
And here is the steal of the month:
Two dizzys 4 Two bucks. Not bad at all!
We had a great day, and even had our picture taken by the local newspaper (don’t know if we made it in though).
Mini projects and more!

Well, I know I haven’t posted in a bit, but I am still working on the ol’ ghia.
I finished all the painting and put the spring plates back on. (that was fun) I will be working on putting the front end together soon. I will also be sending the tranny off for rebuild (yes, I know, the king DIY guy is caving!) I have begun the rebuild, starting with the brake system.
I ran the front to rear line first and plugged it into the rear T:
I then added the two rear lines.
I then moved to the front lines and added the master cylinder:
I took the old brake switch off the old cylinder (and odds are good that it will be dead).
Since I needed to work on the front end, but am awaiting parts, I chose to work on some other projects:
Steering box, Pedal cluster, Dizzy
Anyway, I will be buying a 66 beetle in a few days. Got a great deal! Pray that I can keep focused on my Ghia!
LESSON FOR THIS BLOG: Liquid wrench is my new friend. I was having trouble while disassembling the pedal cluster, and liquid wrench saved the day!
