This is what has consumed me, and school of coarse, and this is why I have been lagging on posts.
Meet my car, Vanilla bean. She is a 1968 vw Bug and is what I like to call my hunk of junk. She is mine though all mine! And is my first car. I have wanted a bug since I was about 7. My dads friend, "earthquake" had some on his property and they were so cool to me so I made it my goal to own one. Give me a year and my baby will be beautiful!
So far I have done most of the work on her by myself with only a few helping hands. This last weekend I changed the swing axle boots by myself, which was fun, greasy, and easier than I thought.

Engine after we added preheater tubes, breastplate, air filter (PO was an idiot), tube from oil filler to air filter. Whew, think that's it. Than I discover one morning as I am boppin down the road, that the heads are shot and have been cheaply repaired, So I have to check that once a week.
Blinkers don't work, there are rusty holes in the ground and she needs paint, But she is mine! I love working on her, because it is easy and cheap. At first I thought I bought a POS and I did but its my little project car. An adventure and I can do most of the work myself. Next fix, weld holy floor pan. SO her she is, my hunk of junk.
Oh did I mention I had a massive gas leak. Previous owners suck!.
