Whew. About time I sat down and did something on here. While my website updates may be lax, I have not been. Where to start.....
I moved the home and shop at the beginning of June to Sharon, Ontario. That has taken a lot of my personal time. But I have still been wrenching as well. My bus and '59 vert made the move with me, with my '58 vert and '73 vert in storage elsewhere. Got settled in, and got to work on Pablo's '57. Had some tweaks to be done so he could drive it to the JJB. He did, it was displayed at my booth, and he won his class. My vert came in 2nd in it's class.
Then, someone stepped up to buy my vert. So I had some tweaks and changes to do to it before it left and they got done. Current owner lives in downtown Toronto so it will still be seen at some local VW shows.
Then I was asked to help out a buddy with his cousin's car. 1963 beetle sedan which had sat for the last 7 years due to idling issues. So it sat idle LOL!!! I lowered it, put in a 4" beam, new carb, rims and tires, installed the new interior carpet and generally cleaned it up to get it ready to drive. My buddy finished up a few outstanding details, then dropped it back off to his cousin to enjoy.
Now I have a '67 coming in for a engine and tranny swap. After that I have a '70 vert coming in for air ride, 17" rims and tires, and 4 wheel disc brake conversion.
What then?? Well, how about a 21 window bus for moi? I need money to finance the build so someone please buy my 13 window bus I have now! http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1014238
I am also looking at doing a Fall Cruise so check out that thread under my Forum topics.
I will update this site more as the cold weather approaches. Until then I have a shed to finish, fence to put up, gardens to move, central vac to install.........
