havent yet, i remember something leaking when it was being towed so want to look under it first to see what is up.

p.s. how do i get the inside handles off? for the life of me i can figure out how to get the window and door handles off

and on a side note, someone came and stole the autometer gauges and the scat shift knob off the car, who the hell does that? honestly

I understand that the bug crashed and you got it back. Are you able to do the work (physically)?

What are you doing? Where abouts are you in Abby?

shitty about the stuff gettin ripped off, was it stored at your house??

about the inner handles, you need to push the plastic scuffer piece towards the door panel to depress the foam behind it and then yo will see a small roll pin in the handle, drive that out with a skinny drift or a finnishing nail has worked for me in a pinch.

no its stored at a friends place, runs a business with greenhouses and stuff so it there along with a 5th wheel someone else is storing.

yea i can do the work physically, im pretty much healed from the physical stuff expect for some stiffness and limited movement in my shoulder.

ill grab the battery today, charge it then see if it will run without anything done then get back to you guys on what kind of help i need
