 I Noticed that many are stil pulling there cars together for this event. So I thought that I'd start a new topic on what you need to complete to get your VDub to PunchBuggy Day.

Here's my short list.
Finish up some welding and installing my fresh 5speed swingaxle tranny. install brake assembly etc, install engine, install new wiring harness and ECU, install rear fenders, replace rear seats. And like things aren't bad enough I'm still waiting on my new clutch assembly before I can mount the engine.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to pull this off, but if the cars at the show the proof will be on the street. I think I can do it. And for those that don't know, this is not yor normal AC install.

Ok. So I'm missing and have a few loose screws, but those are only in my head

Have a lot of minor things on the to do list but none that need to be done before the show. I'm just happy to have Sleeping Beauty running and on the road.
I'll do a major cleaning and a little polishing and that should do it.
I don't know how fast my car will go.
It's more important that I know how fast my car will stop.

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.

71 Super Beetle Vert: Engine needs to be tested/fired-up outside the vehicle than if all goes well ... install that engine! After that ... all bets are off. This engine rebuild has been "testing" Bob & I. Send my best to "the builder" if you see him.

71 Westy Bus: Still waiting for something to happen.

In other words ... I won't be there with my own VW.
Maybe I'll show up ... not sure yet!

my 71 camper is FINALLY registered and on the road..  i figure i will take it to punchbuggy but i need to replace the oil seal and clutch and stuff before the end of the month.. . ack! 

anyone know anything about fixing power brake assist?  i forgot that the power assist doesn't work and you gotta really hit the brakes to slow 'er down...

    Old Blue has a clog somewhere between the fuel pump and a full tank of gas. And the manual gas tank shut-off is weaping, not much but, anything is too much.

  I found another gas tank switch but the rubber seal is stiff and cracked. I swear it was brand new -what year was that??

   The Ocelot (Dune Buggy)continues to run good for 20 seconds then starts miss-firing.m-d

I'm going to try a new distributor, cap and wires. 

  However, no matter what happens, I'll be there even, if the weather reports continues to predict possible scattered showeres.    %6%
