I was checking out some online sites and this is a badass VW baja build, the kid has some skill at fabrication. He just needs to quit the procrastination. Its not like I have a bug that I have been building since '95? Oh I have? I'll get right on that.

Saturdays project was getting the '61 volks home. I have a shop that I have been keeping my cars including this ragtop. It is an early '61 which means it shares many parts from the pre '60 cars including a hump gas tank, old style brake reservoir, and ice pick door handles, but it has an 1835cc motor and close ratio transmission for drag race, a KCW narrowed adjustable front beam with drop spindles, and it is currently running 14" type II wheels on the front. I don't care for the one piece windows so I tracked down some new doors to put on the car with OG style windows. In my searching I also found an original 4 tab hood I plan to put on the car. Normally I would just drive it but the day I hopped in it to bring it home was -15 outside, I guess the lack of windows made the car want to give up, so the throttle cable snapped. For a normal volks this would be a quick change, in fact everything on a stock VW is much simpler, including loading the thing on the trailer. After a couple of hours, I had the car on the trailer with some spare doors, my 2110cc motor, and other various parts. I also put a picture at the bottom of my other 3 cars, the yellow '65, black '61, and my viper blue '70 that the 2110 motor goes in (It is mostly under the cover with my jet ski cover on top)
