A week later the top is finally finished.


Took a few hours to button up some engine stuff including a huge exhaust leak, mount the rear tail light pan and mount the turn signals for the last time. Also had to modify the air intake tube yet again as it was still touching the trunk lid.


Still need to install the plexi rear window and new seal but the plexi is cut and ready.



He also did a headliner in an arctic white suede that looks good.

The seat bottom will need to go back for a slight modification. With all the extra padding in the seat and the added headliner, I now sit too high up and within a half inch of the headliner. I already lowered the rear seat mounts about two inches but it's still to high.

Finally got the timing set so it starts and runs but I will need to do something about the carb. It's got a flat spot, stumbles and idles at two different speeds.

Last thing is tighten up the steering linkage, bleed the rear brakes one more time, permanently install the gas tank and take it for a drive. Only been three years in the making.

Been a while. Made it to the Woodburn bug run in April. Was unable to make the drive as I have not got it registered for the street. However when I was loading it on the trailer, I managed to damage the front lower edge of the quarter panel because it was too low. So re-sanded, primed, painted and cleared. Good as new and ready for the road.

A short little video. I'll publish another with the top down and driving around.

Enjoy.

Ok - took me a while to shoot another short video with the top removed.

Considering a change to the hood.





The grill and new hood will be formed out of metal and open and close as a single unit. The model-A style grill and hood will be removable just in case I want to use the VW hood.

That's a 20X20X1 furnace air filter being used as the "grill."

Just an idea...
