  1. So, seeing as it appears I have a mental issue, and love rough old school rides, I have just bought and picked up a lovely example of a vw beetle. (Maybe not so lovely, but thats what makes a good hood ride) So, its a 1971, so has disc brake front end, which had happerly locked it self up on the right hand side, SO the firstthing was to get that free, hammer did the trick, so I was happy. Next was getting it running, put battery in, wound it over, and over, and over, and did thjat for a while. Then one of the chaps remebered he had some engine start, a few sprays of that and a bit more winding, and eventually it fired up, and that was all good. So got it on trailer and back to work. So im happy. Need to check out the motor, guy thought it wasnt running propperly, as I have never really driven a VW beetle before, i dont know if its running good or not. It does feel like though that the brakes are a little draggin, but that should be an easy fix. So the plan: 1 - remove drivers side running board and guards to fix the rusted to crap heater channel that someone had the mean go at bogging before. 2 - fix brakes and tune up motor 3 - get the whore a warrent and reg 4 - strip all the paint off the wheels with a metal wire wheel, let them rust up, get new tires for the front as they are bald, (maybe before warrent ) and fit some white wall insterts. 5 - drop thje back to notches, which is fairly common and gives it mean camber on the rear, and buy some front beam adjustersm weld them in, and lower the front, Then, shes pretty much all done, put some seedy als chop shop and old school stickers on it and start repping it out. (will probabaly end up selling after its finished, as its a later model, and I prefer the early model ones) Fucvken pics Full frontal dubness Rear end and just to be sure its a dub Mean, should get warrent on the corolla too tomorrow, so I can put all my time in to this as i save money for whels etc for corolla Discuss: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/21032-seedy-hoodride/?hl=seedy Chur Seedy Al
