Nope...

Didn't do anything... It's factory






It's actually a dune buggy body! Made exactly the way it looks. You used camaro parts to finish it


So that's what you get when you cross a VW Beetle and a Camaro! #@rofl3

WOW!  I better go have "the talk" with Ruby!  Looks like they're getting the place to themselves soon!  Pics to follow on How's bug!

Was finally getting somewhere and then it happned......no power to ignition.  Found a remote starter button?  shootgun  "in the dash"???????   So there must have been a problem before.  ?/banghea?/ Not sure what to do. :confused04:; Try and find the Ingnition problem or just put a hot to the coil and get it running?

Going to have to fix it before she can drive it anyway so you might as well do it now


My grandad (or somebody's grandad anyway) had a line....

Found out why New fuel pump didn't work...it needes the long push rod.  So I filed down the bottom of the flange where it broke and put it back in and took apart the old fuel pump and cleaned it.  Put it all back together and It worked... thumpup)-  now to get to the ignition problem.  ?/banghea?/

Click on picture to see running.
