I had my fun.
Crossed this off the bucket list.
Now it's for sale. (I'm not really that into bugs)

Front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, 4 speed, swing axle transmission.
46Kmiles.
This is not a pan replacement, the car is all original Mexican, even the tires.
Original keys, owner's manual, wheels, fenders, engine, door panels.
This car has a clear Florida title.
It was originally white, it was painted pink and has since been resprayed flat black.
It has:
.brand new factory seat covers,
.brand new custom made interior carpets,
.brand new running boards
.brand new Autozone battery
.brand new front bumper and turn signals
.brand new spark plugs, cap, rotor,
.new powdercoating on engine tin.
.oil cooler seals, oil filter, fuel filter, intake gaskets
.good used rear bumper installed
The car has NO RUST except for one tiny bubble in the corner of the windshield under the rubber.
While installing the new windshield, it cracked.
The engine needs to be taken back out, and either the pistons and cylinders replaced, or the case split for inspection.
I changed the oil and found small parts that look like a piston skirt broke off.
The engine start, runs, idles, but it smokes.
I already have a 67 bus to play with, and don't want to take this engine
out again after I just installed it.
Some work to be done :
Installing the wiper motor assembly
Switching key cylinder from passenger door (handle broke so I replaced it and have original)
Installing bulbs in lights in the bumper
Locate and install flasher relay, wiper relay, under hood behind speedo.
321955531A same used on golfs and jettas (wiper relay)
176953227 flasher relay

I sold the car, but I promised my 5 year old son that I would give him a ride in the car once it was finished.
So I took the new owner's car for a short spin.
Sorry the camera angle sucks, but I had to clamp the iPod in the bench vise to capture this video, since wife was in shower.
