what do you mean by paint the interior?
I Painted Dash and pillars and door frames, I Left the dash grey tho it breaks it up a bit and goes well with the black and grey seats and door panels.
P.S Lovin the New Signature Seb!

Like, all the metal in the interior, did you paint it black?
Yeah man, thanks for the comment, I'm going a 2-PAC black on Zelda some time next year, depends all on money.
Your bug looks tough Dylan, need more photos though!

Seb,
Yeah i probly do need put up more pics. but lighting in the shed is very poor cant get good photos.
The Bug is going to a mates house soon for him to weld up mounts and install the new sports seats and do some work on it that i can't do properly or profesionally.
2pak black will look good on your bug it will suit well! I Painted the metal in my interior grey primer and im gonna leave it like that now for the time being. I Reccon it looks good cause it goes well with the grey parts of the interior i have grey rear seats and rear door pannels.

Well The Rear Left Gaurd i had was given to me from Joel.
It was quite out of shape and looked out of place now i have the car looking more straight so for $50 i could'nt say no to this almost perfect L bug gaurd. Also using this decklid as i realised the bolt holes on the hinges of the 2 slot mesh decklid were totally rooted. So the decklid and front right gaurd and rear left gaurd will be painted then all bolted on correctly.

Dylan, if it is just the thread in the holes, you can use longer bolts & put nuts on the back - if it is the ones I think it is.DylanTheDubber wrote:Also using this decklid as i realised the bolt holes on the hinges of the 2 slot mesh decklid were totally rooted.

Original frilliment design bulb on the left and the 36 LED globe on the right. The LED is Clearly much brighter. They arnt expensive i paid $2.99 with FREE Postage from Hong Kong.
Take a few weeks to get here but they good for the money im happy. The ones i bourght fit into the stock globe possition and work as Tail and Brake lights. I Think i will get the same but as indicators soon too.

Dylan, are the LEDS actually coloured or are they just white lights?
Curious for my own use, as sometimes a really bright bulb will "outshine" the cloured lense of the tailight & make them look white instead of red,orange. Might be the go if they are coloured.
Cheers

If you're gonna run that no vent decklid make sure you prop the top or bottom open otherwise you'll cook that engine.
If you go with LED indicators you'll need the special LED flasher relay too.
I went through it all with mine only to pull them all back out again, LEDs are too directional, even the wide angle ones.
Ok for brake lights but not so much indicators.

Hey Guys!
Im up to fixing up all the wiring! (That I havent done already)
I Have done wiring all along the way but right now I'm installing, wiring up and getting to work my Headlights, tail lights, Reverse lights, Number plate light, Parker lights, Horn, Windscreen washer and so on. This work will go in conjunction with soon removing the engine to do the seals where oil is leaking. Matt Ryan came over and helped me with the service on the bug we did the timing and the Valves (Tappet clearance) And when i have the engine out ill do the plugs, leads, Change oil and I'm hoping also a new SVDA Dissy but i might be dreaming a bit there as i might not have the extra funds. Id love a SVDA but the 009 runs and drives the car so it's not all that necessary.
I Will let you all know more soon, with some pics along with it. Im busy studdying 2 TAFE Courses at once, One being Generall schooling (Year 10) and the other a Ceritificate II in Automotive.

Well i have left the wiring for a bit. i have now lost all head and tail lights and indicators = /
Since i put the car back together i took it for a test drive first time driving it in 8 months. The car went alright although the engine was very sluggish to build up revs like a massive flat spot. anyone know what that could be from? it had exhaust leak and carby side mixture screws were out, would that do it? Im getting new spark slugs in tomorrow and hopefully soon after that a new set of leads, a new performance coil and a SVDA Dissy with electronic ignition. Okay so heres for the bad news. For some reason my NEW RHS diamond cut H4 headlight and bucket fell out and went straight under my wheel and tottally crushed the RHS unit and the bucket.

They are real easy to fit.
The stock runners just unclip off the bottom of the standard seats.
Just weld some tabs to them to pick up the bolts on the bottom of the Saas seats.

Ha!
Those old plugs look rooted.
Mine always went like a go cart with new plugs. The rings in the old engine were stuffed and would clog up everything. New plugs were great for a month, then shit again.
Should feel the difference with the new ones.

My stepdad said when he drove my bug he thorght it was just like a Go kart ((:
I have blocked jets in the carby (suspecting) I gotta fix that then get a muffler on my extractors and it should run well.

While I'm waiting for some money and parts to come through for more engine bits, I had a look at my lights. I Now have my headlights fully functional and working. I just need to buy a new RHS Insert and mounting bucket. Insert is $40 delivered and Mounting bucket $45 delivered. I Had to trim the mounting buckets so the inserts would fit because the wedge Parker bulb holder wouldn't clear the bucket. Here is a pic below of my Super White 28 LED's in 1 Parker bulb.

They are $35 each from Classic Vee Dub in Sydney. They are beetle headlight buckets for 7" inserts, my inserts didn't clear the parker light housing and wires so i just trimed the inner lip of the bucket.

A mate came over who's a Auto Electrician by trade and he spared some time from his busy work and community schedule to help me fix my Indicators and Tail lights. All fixed now and 1 step closer to road worthy. New (fibreglass) Glove box from John Sherman (Volks-Conversions) Then the new headlight insert and bucket for RHS will be the next things coming in.

The car is now back rolling again with the new black deep dish vw steelies and chrome vw hubcaps. They now have good tyres all round running;
Front Tyres: 175/70/R14
Rear Tyres: 195/75/R14
I fixed the car up and converted it back to use vw beetle seats and runners instead of the 4 point mount celica seats that were in it. The beetle runners were still in the floorpans but i just had a bit of tinkering to make them work. I now have a old beetle drivers seat and when i get a passenger side i will start pulling them appart to get the beetle seat of the base and put my SAAS seats on them. Planing on putting some fuel in it and getting it out of the shed and driving it out the front to degreese the motor and change the engine oil. Will take some pictures on the weekend when i get it outah the shed.
The Car is about 90% Percent ready to be Registered and only a few od bit's and peices to buy untill it's ready.
