flyingbrick Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 This thing is completely destroying my want for a beetle, haha. At least you have so many mates keen to come talk shit and lift it when needed LOL. In one of those pics it kinda looks like your dog is backing up to take a shit on the engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 oh man, sorry for being late to the party on reply about pics yeah bag setup is super easy on this thing And yeah, the notching of the chassis is a bit sub par Expecially given how much they probabaly paid to have it done haha Sorry to hear your motor is back out Just fix the the thrust bearing and put it back together. trust me, otherwise it will sit for a year while you pretend you are looking for a motor but work on other cars instead, and then you get fucked off at seeing it not driving and you sell it cheap when all it needed was a $30 part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Greg if you notch them when I'm.not around please ensure you drill holes in corners first so they end up with a radius rather than sharp corner.
