Last Bug, I put them in the luggage compartment (speaker boxes). I'll do the same with this one. Not ideal, but works.

Thank you sir. Air compressor down. New one arrives Thursday. I have a feeling I'm going to get back after this.

First question:
Any chance I can find a "stock" radio for this.
Radio is missing

I got lucky about a decade ago and found this new in the box unit on ebay (had to stay up until 3AM to w ...

Thank you sir. Engine purred, but it was only a matter of time before the broken connectors, dried FI seals, etc started causing problems. I really do need to get back to work on it.

Just a non-update. I've been busy with house projects, so the Bug languishes in large part. I did sandblast tin and exhaust and repaint as required. I also tackled the old Bosch FI connectors. The ...

My '78 has/had it. Stuff was everywhere. Got after it with a pressure washer and plastic tools, etc. I'd argue the stuff did its job, but what a hassle getting it off from where it didn't belong (th ...

The weather tossed a curveball last Spring. Snow came with a vengeance. Since I had a lot of outdoor sandblasting to do (exhaust and engine tin), I basically stalled out. Slowly getting back after i ...

Sandblasted all engine tin and exhaust pieces (other than heater boxes as I have a new set of those). What a hassle. Super windy. Had to get a coat of primer on everything before it all flash ruste ...

Ordered a new one. Less hassle. Thanks again.

Thank you!

Hello. I have a pin hole in my EGR box. If I shake it, the EGR sounds like it's full of magic beans (not rust particles). Anyone actually know what's in the box? Don't want to waste time welding up ...

Not bad for a 41yo engine. Once my bevy of shims arrive, I should be able to set it at a solid .004.

Thanks. I'm going to give these style Oetikers a try IF they fit. These are just for the hose at the injector.

Thanks!!

Perhaps it's here somewhere, but my eyes are getting crossed trying to find it. Has anyone used 5/16 FI hose with the actual injectors? I've been using it on other parts of the system without issue, ...

Yanked the orig tar boards. A bit more cleaning, but like the rest of this car, zero rust. New boards going in after trimming, holes, etc. Shop floor is getting too crowded, so I'll drop the trans ...

Orig windshield fixed. Engine out for seals and detailing. Replacing all the Bosch 2-pin FI connectors with Bosch's current offerings ( a better plug connector).

Find a pic of a Class 11, but imagine it as a Super.
