I moved it into the trailer and the NARB came into the shop. Now there no cars in my yard. Does that mean I am no longer a Redneck?

WTF is a NARB? ... The V-twin?


A cute little On-Trac girl delivered a set of Pirelli P4s here this morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'll be heading over to the shop in a little while, need to ship out some 'sold' parts ...

I scored another set of 2.0 Fuchs, they were cheap!
Then my $75 Piston set cam in. I unpacked them to discover that they are new KB 96mm pistons! Score!

NARB, not a real bug. It's a '73 Superbeatle.

Tracked down the problem of why my throttle was messed up and repaired it. Replaced the pedal cluster with a nice rebuilt one from Bruce Stone, had to weld a piece that was worn and wobbly. Pretty sure brake pedal was bent also. While we were in there, treated some minor surface rust under the cluster and coated the area with por-15. Everything works nicely now.

Took some pics! Low light helps hide the flaws, like the semi-nasty front valance (will get LE replica at some point). I finally settled on a front ride height that's low enough to look cool and high enough to be usable. Not a single scrape on the under-car coolant hoses. Rear ride height gives decent clearance for oilpan, which extends slightly below engine beam.

I'm pleased with how the front grillework came out...not too noticeable between the bumperettes. Mesh is from a 914 engine cover, so it keeps it all consistent. Went through about 10 Dremel cut-off wheels paring it down.

(Gotta change resolution on photos; using a different camera)

Yeah, like getting the AC fixed in my Tacoma just in time for winter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Checked out your build page. Nice project (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

From the date on your video, looks like you already had it running earlier in the year. Why did you pull the drive train back out?

Sounds nice and quiet. Is that a Boxter muffler? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Also, what is the blue device in the right drive flange? ... hall effect trigger for an ECU?



By any chance, do you still have the cowl you cut the 911 dash from? I'm looking for a section to repair a rusted-out trunk seal tray in my '67 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Yes, it was together and running for a couple of years. Harmonic balancer blew up and the replacement threw the engine balance off and needed to be re-done. Durring tear down I discovered some major F-Up's by the previous machine shop that had to be fixed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif).

Yup, a Boxster S muffler, it is quiet but does have a nice growel when you get on it.

Sorry, all the 911 sheet metal is long gone.

Drove it!

500 highway miles and 9 hillclimb runs at Maryhill Loops Road.

Push started it too many times (heat soaked starter)!

Wiped up lots of oil ?!?!

Now it's time to find the oil leak and replace the starter.

Steel or glass, 'dude'? Looks good.


I need to do a few things to the 'BB' (in prep for the Halloween Run), but the daily driver needed some attention first.

Changed out the front struts on the old Tacoma this evening (lower mount bushings were shot).

Why did I wait so long (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... it handles like a new truck again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
