As part of the purchase, the previous owner threw in this convertable - I needed it's transmission for my build. Here are a couple pics of that ordeal and one for inspiration.

Not much of an update, but degreased the Beetle Transmission and 1600DP.





Also removed the heater boxes in prep to get some J-Pipes and cleaned out the doghouse..looks like something was living in there at one point..eww.



Hopefully tomorrow I will be pulling the rest of the old crap off the Bus..

I cut up and tossed the rest of the Beetle crap I didn't need, so that's gone..yay!

Clutch kit came today.

Drop Spindles & Beam to be done and shipped out by Friday..should be here early/mid next week.

Seal Kit, Mounts, Rear Disk Kit, and J-Pipes will be here Monday.

Haven't gotten any tracking for the tires.

Made a little bit of progress tonight..

Scored some SS lines off the same Porsche guy we got Darren's Bucket from..free!

Also took off some more useless crap..wires that went to nowhere, and some huge ass horn..haha.

Springplates off, and ready to be swapped out for some Adjustable IRS ones..

Also found some even thinner wheels for the fronts..just got to see if they'll clear the brakes.

Running out of things to remove..hmm.

C'mon UPS!

7 Days left.

Just talked to Nate at WagensWest today..crap still hasn't shipped.  I guess they're down a guy in their two man operation, so things aren't working out as planned. Shipping out "soon" though, and should be here USPS maybe Thursday, for sure on Friday..sonofabich.
