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!
