Mounted the bumpers, running boards, and decklid.
Also removed the yellow paint from the drivers door and blended the quarter panel a little bit.

I have to admit...I'm not a big fan of "patina" but I appreciate the passion that typically goes into these.
That said...this Bug definitely oozes the cool factor and has the look.
Great job so far!

Bled the brakes, new door rubbers, and the engine is most ready to go in. Also ordered a new auto stick starter. Also ordered a new Bowden tube... Seems they gave me a bay bus one instead making it too long.

No pics of anything worth seeing but:

Installed new window seals on all the stationary glass along with all new rubber for the doors. Filled the 68 trans with fluid. Installed a new Bowden tube... Three actually because the cheap things kept splitting. Threw in a new throw out bearing and a new auto stick starter as well.
