A small box came in today.

The wife wants eyebrows so yeah she got eyebrows I know doesn’t do anything to get the car started but she sees her vision coming to life and it made her happy ergo it made me happy.

Got this to instal which will go a long way to getting it started. Hopefully tomorrow this will go in and I’ll try another “will it start” effort. I’ll keep everyone posted.

Happy wife, happy life. Hope the new starter gets gerty going.

Today’s update is a bit minor but it went to getting it closed off from the elements. She is getting a garage spot soon but until that happens she sits outside. So far we have had a dry autumn / fall but that can all change quickly. We could see snow by the end of the month who knows.

But anyway I raided my hoarders stash and came up with the correct vent window to replace the broken one that was repaired with chip board years ago. It is obvious that someone locked themselves out and tried to open the vent window. They damaged the chrome strip and put a dent in the door before just resorting to breaking the vent window. I went to put the new window in and didn’t notice that the bottom bolt tab was broke off. My only other ones I had were earlier ones probably from a 67. But they fit and it’s in and helps keep rain out. I will need to replace all of the window scrapers but that’s a winter project. I got to get my lean to done to get everything into dry storage before snow flies.

We got DG fired up! First time since it was parked in 1988. According to the previous owner he drove it to where it was parked.

It needed a new starter and my wife put it in! She really wants to do more if not all the work on this one! Cool huh?

But enjoy the video.

That's good news and it sounded good. Years ago I was always looking for a gal that would want to work on a VW. Looks like you found her first!
