LMAO

 ;D


So I weight around 220 Lbs and since the mishap it has been difficult to go lower but, I am still working on it.

I got into the bug and tried to adjust myself and this happened"





Luck was on my side that i had a spare.

BTW That was yesterday.

They just don't make things like they use to.

I finally started removing the worn out hinge pins on my beetle.  I ordered a hinge pin removal tool from a vendor on the samba and it showed up last week.

Takes an ugly job and makes it much simpler.

I did. The tips hit some times and did not wanted to hit and hit up to the tubes so, I removed them. Maybe when i lower my front end they may work better.

Note to self...never work on your personal car on friday the 13th.

Late at night decided to put my PC680 battery back in my car. I did the wonderful thing and accidentally reversed the polarity for a second.

Alternator works on smoke and when the smoke comes out it stops working  >:( 

I waranteed one of them and bought a second new Bosch one for a spare. Just finished installing the new alt 2am. Gotta love working on cars for a living and working on them at home.

So sick of looking at the pc680 I ended up putting in a DT75 Interstate.
