After years of wrenching on cars here and there. I realized that the total time I've had an aircooled vw insured is about 2 months over a period of 10 years.

For me, this summer will be different. I want to build a car that is drivable and is insured throuhgout the summer to enjoy. Not something thrown together over night to drive on the \"show\" weekend. A car that I can use day to day all spring/summer long.

Dont know why I decided to share this. What's everyone's plan for 2006?

Cheers
Mike

Try not to do everything felt to rushed last summer .Will try to get a few more body panels straightened out and start to plan out tranny suspension choice

.Also collect window rubber for eventual paint job B) . Of course insert two girls and a wife into that equation :lol:

I hear ya Mike!

I've had my 66 for almost 6 years and have drove it less than 500Km's!

I want to have it ready for early spring and then enjoy the year instead of the mad rush to get ready for our show in June.

I'm shootin for both projects next year. First and formost is the 911 powered notch that has seen all of my free time lately, then I want to build the 2275 I have in pieces and drop it in the 67 for the season. The bug won't be pretty by any means this year but it will be good enough for the track.

Drive the '52 at least 1000 KM's

Not ACVW related, but drive the FD at least 10,000+KM's and finally the CBR around 100 KM's would be nice (it's a track bike).

Jamie: Hans is laughing because he has promised me first dibs. So you'll have to wait.

I am with Mike. I am tired of not driving an aircooled. I have worked on them for years but when they are fixed up I find it is like having a pretty girl.......everybody wants her. So I sell them. WOuld like an aircooled for the season next year.

Get my 1962 finished its about 95% done except its on the island i am in coquitlam, and get my judson supercharger and exhaust installed on my og 61 so i can drive it as my driver next year. And i better get my nostalgia drag wagon (64 Valiant Wagon) on the road too it can pull my bug.

My goals are similar's to Mikes. I'd like to have my car on the road and done somewhat. Accessorized slightly and well the rest of it regarding the suspension/ rim/shoe combo is up to the air.

Other car projects... Get the Model A done and into paint...

Then strip the 2002 and start cutting the sheetmetal and then drop in that striaght 6!

Bug Maniac · « **Reply #17 on:** November 12, 2005, 10:22:40 AM »

Well depends where we are, if were here then I'II run the bug and try and smarten the interior up, headliner,tacho etc.
If were there then who knows I'd like to buy a wreck and strip it down, teach myself as much as I can and learn from you guys as well?

Unless I end up Swapping it for a 67-71 1600 dp, I plan to do the two rear quarter panels on my daily driven 64. I also have to take care of my leak under the engine. Luckily I inspected my mounts and they are good. The noise is coming from my rear bumper. There are about a million things I dream of doing to it. Then I wake up and realize that I have to fund those things.

Thanks for the topic suggestion; when you put it in writing with a time frame it becomes a goal.

hellgti · « **Reply #21 on:** November 12, 2005, 09:23:53 PM »

get the '66 ready for the road and take it roadtripping, and get a beetle for myself to roll in. B)

G-dog · « **Reply #22 on:** November 14, 2005, 10:07:28 AM »

Obviously my first goal is world domination , but I'd settle for gettin project 67 done ,it's only been 6 years & $500

to get this far .I've never even driven it cos it was a pile of parts &I haven't had an aircooled car insured &driving since my 61 deluxe bus 15 years ago ..........boy does time fly!

Stay sober.....nah!

steiner · « **Reply #24 on:** November 14, 2005, 04:17:25 PM »

I'm a simple man! I just want to drive a hammered aircooled for the summer!I don't care how fast it is or what it looks like.

Mowser · « **Reply #25 on:** November 14, 2005, 04:27:26 PM »

Get the new belly under Waldo, 12 Volt him, and drive him as is. That's the realistic goal. I'd like to do alot more this coming year but as per other comments that would require funds not currently accounted for.

Swartz · « **Reply #26 on:** November 14, 2005, 05:29:41 PM »

Install drag bar, clean up some wiring, maybe narrow my beam....AND RACE!

vwshawn · « **Reply #27 on:** November 14, 2005, 10:22:24 PM »

My goals, get the 65 Beetle all done in time for Great Canadian and VW Classic!
My transmission has just been done by Terry Hoogstins.
Motor is going to get done soon, and I will be getting my Interior from West Coast Classic

steveo_32 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 15, 2005, 12:14:33 AM »
