Bought an original fender for 20 bucks, no headlight guts. Made a new VW friend and part supplier ha ha.

You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

Unbolted the stuff from the fender, moved it to the good fender.
Took the unmatching wheel and tire off and put the matching one on.

I didn't go for a ride or anything down the street...

 
 !5!  :police:

Bug drives straight so that's good.

No blinkers no headlights didn't check the brake lights. Hopefully it's just fuses.

 Mary Lu.  LAUGH@

Should be a great sound. Shouldn't the Subs be enclosed in their own little box to give more BOOM?

Sounds like fun, do the ladies have to pay 25 cents to sit down?

in my bus ladies always ride for free.

anyway back to the what i did today.

after putting the felt on the box and letting the glue dry over night i bolted the speakers in...





then tossed it back into the bus to see how it looked.



after all this i found that one of the six by nines is on the way out so looks like a new set will be going in.

^ I agree Autostick is quite an experience. Especially when it clunks into gear.

If it clunks into gear it only needs adjustment.
