If I ever win the lottery, I will buy a split or oval survivor to dump into the ocean so I can document it and watch the hater purists squirm.

Then I'll get my diving license and see what I can retrieve from that derelict car on the ocean floor.... the treasure hunt is on in that case and awesome patina car as a result
Everybody wins!
Now go win that lottery and let me know if you do! _________________ drive it like you just robbed the bank
you don't have to be crazy to be into VW's, but it sure helps!!

Exchanges alternator when the old stopped charging.
In the past I've also started to think about selling the car. The time is not enough to use both our Bay Bus and Oval.
Standing mostly just in the garage.

Just keep it. Cover it up and don't worry about using it. Drive it on the weekend to get a burger. You'll regret selling it. Do you need the money? I've had my 58 for 30 years, and I hardly ever drive it. |

Then the day came where I think the engine is destroyed. It slams like a hammer pounding on the engine block.
Driven 101100 km so it is well anyway time for new engine  |

Wouldnt it be better to rebuild the original? its always better to keep the original motor with a car of this age. _________________ Fender Bug |

Is perhaps a false alarm.
Got sms from Kjell Roar to take off the fan belt and start the engine. Bank sound is gone. Is the alternator jumping around!
Being replaced alternator tomorrow, again  |

Then Oval repaired!.
It turns out that I have mounted the fan with the wrong washer. I've used regular flat washers on one side and the special album on the other side.
There should be a special washer on one side and one wavy washer on the other side. This was now mounted and fan of 34 horses. More cooling
Thanks for your help Kjell Roar!
Ovals in the yard is not wrong

Sweet car. I liked it when you got it, and still like it. Wounder how it would look with black wheels and stock hubcaps? Maybe like this?
