Kinda looks like a bug. Maybe you can talk them out of the engine. That thang rips. Sure does look like fun.

Nope straight in the left arm. Both are becoming pin cushions lately and I go for another blood test first of the week.
I win 5 bucks every week guaranteed because I don't buy them. 5 bucks a week times 52 is 260 bucks a year. Compare that to how much you win a year. Mind you some people have more luck that others. If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all
Good plan. No phones, just peace and quiet. Everyone should do that.
I'd hold out for some cash.
Neighbour came over and helped me change the wheels over to snows this afternoon. Had a Crown and Coke (just to be sociable)
Going to help him do his two cars and truck sometime this week. I work the impact gun and he does the grunt work then I hand torque the wheels. We have a great system actually. When we do his wife's and daughter's car (Chevy Cruise) I jack them up in the middle and do both tires at once. Works great as you guys know.

BOOOO!!! Morning guys and Happy Halloween.
Got the carshow/Food drive this morning at 11.
May be taking the 300 as the weather doesn't look good so far, we'll see.
Looking at putting the toy away next weekend, again we'll see what the weather brings. Sad time of year. As one guy I used to work with said when putting his sailboat away. It's like losing an old friend.
Have a great time tonight with the kids tonight.

Looks just like I remember it. Bolt a seat in brace steering shaft go for a rip. LOL great fun. Then cut the back seat out weld back together build roll cage add 5 point harness go nuts. The wife and I put many miles on in the buggy. One time we were toodeling down the rail ditch and with the tee pee open header we didn’t hear the train. When he got right behind us he let the air horn go scared the crap out of us. I looked up at the engineer he was just roaring. I stopped the wife and I never laughed that hard
What? not suppose to drink out of the toilet?
That sure sounds like fun it's very tempting.
Have fun Mark and don't get in to much trouble. lol
OK guys did a cost analysis on the bug with everything or most everything I could think it needs including new interior, rebuilt suspension , engine, body parts, exterior trim and lights, paint and wheels and tires. ads up to around the $12,000 mark.
That's putting it back to stock condition, so now will do a cost analysis on turning it into a Baja or custom kinda bug.

Good morning, what are they worth restored ? Don’t forget to factor in your time now your at way more . I do realize it’s a hobby thing ?
Hobby for sure gives me something to do.
I think it would be worth somewhere in $20,000 but depends on like every old car how much someone wants it.

I always wanted a chopped top street bug
. Got to see my body shop buddies do one years ago and they made it look so easy. A local business here had a chopped body shell in their front yard as a decoration. It was on a high traffic street so just getting 4 friends and a trailer to put it on was not an option in the middle of the night 
. The PD headquarters being right around the corner from it was a bit of a deterrent also .
I could chop the top but the hard part for me is finding windows to fit.I always wanted a chopped top street bug
