Setting up a four post hoist in the shed. Looking forward to moving the beetle out of the house garage as the kids bikes have surrounded it. I’m worried it’s just a matter of time before it gets damaged. |

I don't know how I did without a lift for so long, since I got one a couple of years ago. Crawling around on the floor never put me in a good mood. I can really get a lot more done in less time. Enjoy your four poster ! Gene |

Hoist has been up for awhile now and it’s helped create a bit more room.

Was recently ask to do a talk on my beetle at the local historical group at our old train station.
Lot of interest and some great questions from people.
Cars been running great and is about due for a major service, the nose cone has how ever developed a leak .
I think I might have to pull the engine and gearbox out to fix as the nose cone will have to come off to seal up properly.So it’s now parked with a drip tray 🙄.
Anyway that’s the joy of old cars I guess. |
