The First Polish is the Deepest.....

I must admit that i have never polished a car by myself... i have always send it out to a detailer's shop with all my other cars... but the beetle... i was just a little afraid to do so...  With the help and guidance of a friend who is also a beetle owner... i set out to polish the beetle


..Before polish....................................................After polish


Isn't that a beautiful sight.....

Beeb Beeb!!!

as you guys have seen i put in a 71 standard modal steering wheel and upgraded to a collapsible steering column... but i dont like the brush style horn button contact... so i wired the horn like a normal 65 bug buy removing the rubber piece in the column and ran the wire through it... the horn repair kit had to be modified a little cos the horn button is from a type 2...



i cut this piece to make it shorter so it can fit with the type 2 horn contact piece


the order of assembly 


tightened it fully then loosed it about 3/4th of a turn... 


took a piece of wire from a broken hedge trimmer..





ran the wire tru... but the horn worked intermittently. i then later found a washer with a spade connector from a car wiring shop which worked fine... no photos thought...





BEEP BEEP!!!
