bring back the bug
my bug retired with a croak engine about 3 years ago. it was rebuilt by conti. who in return offered to rebuild it again for a measly $2500 with no
warrenty of cause. anyway i got him to pack it up and i got it towed back home after i paid him a cost of $600...now after 3 years i want my baby
back. to do this i would like to buy a running 1600 engine. i was thinking of going for a brand new engine if i get my money back from the lemons i
brought.and when i do i would love to buy a new engine. i had a mechanic give my a quick quote of putting the engine back in and attaching it to a
full auto gearbox, this is how the car came to me years back. anyway he said " yeah about 5 hours work around $1000. wow thats $100 an hour. so now i
have come to the conclusion as i had put int the first engine last time with my daughters help but this time they refuse to help me as i get a little
frustrated with them. i would be prepared to pay someone to help me put it together, i just need a little man power. and if you know of anyone that
can do some little rust repairs that can come to my house,could you pls . let me know. im planning on painting my bug myself im pretty passionate to
see bam bam back on the road and her him speak again. anyway hope this gets to you bfn |
