Hmm, the body of my '63 won't be ready for some time to come, but the chassis is a month from being driveable.

I agree, $5k was probably wishful thinking on my part, but I have put a lot of time, money and energy into that car bringing it back to life and much closer to fully functional.

question,.... if you spent all that time and passion to make this err.. "dream/vision" then why don't you keep it?

Recently seen on Craigslist:

"One of a kind show car, built with a VW chassis and VW engine. Whimsical design highlighted by hand-painted body with flip-flop colors and airbrushed graphic details. This car won awards in the sixties, and was featured in at least one hot-rod magazine. It has been garaged since it was built."

I gotta ask - how much do they want for it - and its pretty obvious it has never run. Man, it shows how old I am - I remember those over the top show cars from those days.

Pardon my ignorance but is that a brake switch in place of the oil light switch? Confused

Did anyone else notice their "donor" engine they pull from the squareback is a type4 yet magically turns into a type1 when they install it in the mule?

Don't under estimate yourself.

I've never seen that before.

I don't think you can looking at a wiring diagram for a '71 super bug.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't an oil pressure switch work on shorting to earth when there's no pressure which is why your oil light is on when you first turn over your engine. But the break fail switch works on a positive switch?
