My project Doom Buggy

Just the tension keeps it together. On the rear side of the engine, (pulley side), the tube is flared and the front side of the engine, (bellhousing side) it is straight and goes up into the flare on the accelerator Boden tube.

I do put a hose clamp on mine like the picture below to keep everything taught.

Everyone is gifted. Some just do not open the package.

Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone

ok so now a new problem.
i was going to hook up fuel lines tonight. the fuel line at the front of the frame was missing. so i removed the cover from the front to see where the line was. well turns out it is rotted off back a wys.

what does everyone suggest. i dont want to open up the bottom of the tunnel

You don't need to remove the bottom of the tunnel to replace the fuel line. Here's a thread that shows how to do it on a beetle.

And here's another option. VW suggested replacing or adding a new fuel line this way.

been a while since i did and update. well here it goes

i have totally wired the buggy only thing missing is the alt to battery wire.
i did not buy an expensive harness as i was able to install the gm coloumn into my buggy so totally custom wired. everything turned out as planned.
may not be the best looking harness, and may not be the easiest to trouble shoot. but there is not much to it.
i did daytime running lights and electric fuel pump with low pressure shut off.
go the new mater cylinder install and brakes bled, after messing around with 50 year old brake fluid in the front brake lines. nrew are on order

i am going to install a gel cell u1 lawn mower battery under the rer shelf i think.

it is getting closer and closer.
took the body off the other day to finish the pan off. i am using a DIY roll on bed liner kit. gonna make it nice and thick in the front where it will get all the abuse
all for now i think

so got my battery box made and installed
now onto building supports for the rear shelf/seat support, the rear engine cage.

and becasue i am cheap and have access to a pipe bender i am building my own engine cage

How will you remove the transmission with the two uprights from the frame horns to the cross member?

I am thinking the same idea, but had to pull my transmission and realized this is not possible with the uprights.

Thanks, Jeff

should be the last update on the engine cage. put some 3/4" LED lights which are dual element style. also there is a licence plate light on there too.
now onto the last of the body repairs before mounting it again
