first purchase should be a fire extinguisher. i'm serious. i've got one and it has saved me a few times.

congrats on the new ride.

congrats.

With that engine, that body, and those tire, you should get a subscription to your local tire store for frequent buyers.

looking forward to viewing it at the next show.

Sad to see it go, wife's not too happy her \"Lucy\" is leaving ( I keep telling her it hasn't been named lucy since the 1200, since the 2 liter it's been named Lucifer)
I'm sure you'll have a blast with the car, I sure did. If you really don't like my lead foot springs I have an idea on how to loosen them up a bit but keep the function.

Josh you do good work

josh · « **Reply #9 on:** May 02, 2007, 08:14:27 AM »

josh · « **Reply #11 on:** May 02, 2007, 10:52:40 AM »

we can cut a couple loops out of them for ya, that'll help. how ya makin' out with parts?

amishrabbi · « **Reply #12 on:** May 02, 2007, 11:31:29 AM »

alot more are out of stock than we thought, no adjusters, inner bearings and no link pin set

josh · « **Reply #13 on:** May 02, 2007, 11:37:42 AM »

we can use the other adjusters, lots of people run 'em. did you try shane/ chris yet? CIP's kinda crappin' out lately. I'd like to support those guys, you'd just have to deal with the shipping.

amishrabbi · « **Reply #14 on:** May 02, 2007, 11:44:11 AM »

im going to send them a list lol, also going to go down to the local place here and get some prices

josh · « **Reply #15 on:** May 02, 2007, 12:16:08 PM »

I like it. It is like the evolution or resurection or something of his old Bug.

I would like to think that my old bug lives on every other bug that has a part of it.

WOW!

amishrabbi · « **Reply #18 on:** May 03, 2007, 12:25:56 AM »

i thought it was a pretty creative idea

altho im debating remaking it with a still from the video of it burning

josh · « **Reply #19 on:** May 03, 2007, 08:17:28 AM »

haha that's pretty good, just remember our little conversation no torching my car

amishrabbi · « **Reply #20 on:** May 03, 2007, 09:27:17 AM »

dont worry, this one isnt red

AirCooledRules · « **Reply #21 on:** May 03, 2007, 03:28:07 PM »

Im just going to paste the same thing i wrote in the other forum.

Thats great, i remember when your super burnt to a crisp. I saw it last summer on the hook in chilliwak or abbotsford, i cant remember, just off the #1, it must have just been purchased from the auction and heading to new owners shop. Then i saw it again either later that day or a couple days later in front of a shop in POCO.

your new beetle looks great.

josh · « **Reply #22 on:** May 05, 2007, 04:12:43 PM »

and the drop

2\" narrowed beam done and installed, gives 'er a better stance

kafer_kid86 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 05, 2007, 05:23:02 PM »

ahhh much better

amishrabbi · « **Reply #24 on:** May 05, 2007, 06:01:16 PM »

oh that tuck is so nice

dont think i even need the drop spindles
great work josh, dont have any pics of the beam with the work done to it do you? ie: no in the car

josh · « **Reply #25 on:** May 05, 2007, 06:06:00 PM »

I thought about snappin a few but I was too greasy to handle the cam, you wouldn't think a beam would be completly jam packed full of grease, I think someone was a little generous with the grease gun.

amishrabbi · « **Reply #26 on:** May 05, 2007, 06:26:24 PM »

didnt you put it back together? lol

josh · « **Reply #27 on:** May 05, 2007, 08:11:50 PM »

yeah but I never in the 4 years that i have owned it even thought of lubing the front end.

amishrabbi · « **Reply #28 on:** May 09, 2007, 08:31:59 PM »

and here was my co-pilot for the drive home

josh · « **Reply #29 on:** May 10, 2007, 07:48:07 AM »
