Well some minor progress but happy progress. Not with the shimmy but with getting the poor thing even started. The corrosion and rust was typically epic around the starter solenoid. As the sun was quickly waning in the sky late yesterday and I was getting plenty dirty, greasy and personally rusty under there with my wife working the key in the ignition I finally got our little Super Beetle going so assuming (possibly wildly) that it starts again this morning and was not just some bizarre fluke yesterday, we'll be driving to Dubs in the Barn in just a few short hours! Wooo-Hoooo.
Sunny and relatively warm today and tomorrow means convertible top gets to be down for first time this season! Bringing tools, parts, jacks, jumper box, jackstands, wiring, electric impact wrench, breaker bar and of course a hammer. You just never know.....
-See ya'll soon!
