The Lightning Bug rides again!!!

Layman · 12-30-2006, 10:44 PM

WHOOO HOOOO! I have my 76 Beetle in drivable condition after 2-3 years of being a lawn ornament! I am a happy camper right now! I pulled the engine, rebuilt the carb, put a fuel pressure regulator on it, changed the transaxle lube - and pulled it up the hill to the front yard! (I forgot how low it was... dragged a little, but no harm - no foul!)

Sweet. VW's rule.

Here's my 1964 Beetle.

When people said that... we MADE SURE they needed to get mom.

Well, you know, my sister and cousins would always save it until we drove past a VW dealership...

And being the youngest...I got a lot of bruises...

I`ve got a 2000 diesel VW. It`s a slow pig, but I like the 50mpg it gets.

It's got some fast wheels...

Nice truck.
