65 VW Bug Restoration
Home ~ Page 2 ~ Page 3

Details below photos

Feb-March 2003

The body was on the floor pan... but somewhere along the way, someone decided that it just wouldn't be right to go all through the trouble of restoring the body and not doing anything to the floor pan... so off the body came. It was set on barrels, and the floor pan was pressure washed, cleaned of any chipped paint and grease ( there was very little) and painted top and bottom with a rust inhibitive paint. It was allowed to dry several days before it was handled it again.

 

While the floor pan was off new brake lines, fuel lines, brake hoses, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, shift bushing, throttle and clutch cables were installed. The body was put back on, engine assembled and installed...glass put back in, interior installed, new CD player / radio, speakers, new chrome put on. New radial tires were put on, 165 X 15 Firestones in the front, 255 X 15 Goodyears in the rear.

 

April 2003- With a lot of skinned knuckles and long nights the bug was ready for the 2003 Rod Benders April Action Show in Moab Utah.
