Hey guys. Thanks for letting me join up. I hope to learn some about these vdubs ands help along the way.
I got a buggy, fiberglass kit car, back in November and just started working on it last week. Come along ways but as is all my projects I'm never mhappy till I spend way to much on it lol.
Mines a 1970 type 1 1600
Did some trading to a guy semi local for a 2002 polaris sportsman for the buggy. Soon as I seen it I knew I messed up lol

Took it out a few times but was kinda embarrassed to be seen. Last week the chic and I started gathering materials to fix it up. Paint primer some fiberglass boddy putty ect...sanded it all down and primed it

when to napa to look at paint. She had to have it match her car...

Got it all sprayed in about 2 hours with a metallic flake

Went to auto zone and got a set of 6" HIDs

Came out pretty decent

Was told the yellow gas cap had to go...lol
Started today on the motor doing a tune up. Got an exhaust all painted up(only used 500 degree paint, it didn't last) rebuilt the carb, adjusted valves(they were all really tight) set timing and took off for a bit. Still having a hard start problem. The startier is hanging up. I'll pull it tomorrow and check it out. Also got some new empi seats and covers and a msds coil.

Still going through it but it's beer thirty so I'm done for the day.
