Started pulling the 2270 type 4 out of the bug. Seems the gearbox don't like all the torque. Spent a lovely 1.5 hours on side of highwway friday afternoon. I am hoping its only the throwout bearing has come off the clutch fork. Was driving nicely and a sound i didnt like gradually got worse and then i couldnt get any gears. But a big thumbs up to RACQ i am not a member but they stopped and towed me off highway to a safer spot to wait for the tow truck i called. I will be joining RACQ now.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

Got the buggy working at last but the weather is not buggy weather😢 Swore at the fuel injection on the cab 'cos now it all has to be right (as practically everything that can be replaced/cleaned/fiddled with, has been) but now seems to be running on 3 cylinders!👎
Did my first service of the beetle 🙂
Took the roof rack off, looks naked now.
Cut and polished.... Then second polish
AHH Daniel son..
Wax on Wax off....
started him up and let him run for a bit - fixed the rubber on the window lifter channel - checked and yes the doorcards I made fit - painted a bit more of his tattoo and generally spent time admiring him

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲

Well after 5yrs of being off the road i have finally gotten started on doing some work to Buzz.
Yesterday was spent with a grinder and wire wheel getting the top of the pan back to bare metal in preparation for soem KBS coatings (Poor mans POR15)
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs
👍
Drove the Bug to work, like every other day.
KBS coatings (Poor mans POR15)
KBS is a very good, hard wearing paint. I used it on my pan, and haven't looked back in nearly four years.
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is!

Did you paint your rear-view mirrors with it?
😂I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
Dropped the beam at 8am, tonight it's degreaser, beer and Rock'n'Roll cleaning up the old suspension parts.
"...with no particular place to go... de-nene-nene-nene-ne"
And did the under side today.

-Rpm
-Timing
-Volts
-Oil temp and pressures
-Fuel temp and pressures
-Intake and exhaust manifold pressures
-Air temp, before air cleaner after turbo and after inter cooler
