Had to use a home built, flywheel locking tool, and a new breaker bar, to free the flywheel bolt. Finally split the cased to see mildly worn main bearings but an obviously worn cam and cam followers.

Old buggy found 1964 beetle base

Is this road legal? I think not, and am not sure how off-road safe they are??? Old wide fives destroyed like that.....What about on Luchia??
Looks like a Citroen Diane??

Check out the old fluffy dash!!!! Moss come free!!!! Along with the tree in the floorpan!!

An uncut floor pan I think, just needs its body back!!!!
The dad of one of my students owns this old beach buggy. Any one interested?

bbbrrrrrrr

How cold, more than air cooled thats for sure.............But the beetle is warmer than my bus! Engine out and strip down ready for the evaluation of a rebuild for Neil.
Wow, thats really oily for only a years run since the last degrease!!! You can see where the oil has sliped past the oil control ring at the base of the barrel and piston.

Netherlands Holiday 10

All set for the Big Road Trip at 4.30 am.
Jacob, Elliot and I enjoy the Dykes! Clever canoes made from old garden furniture screwed to old wind surfing boards.One of two campsites visited, this one was on a farm.Happy times!!Max, as featured in Fear & Loathing in Las Vagas!! Elliot falls in!!

Utrecht at night, appreciated with some Heineken and some Dutch Cheese!! The Sea Road, stretches at least 25-30km across the sea I felt more like a hovercraft pilot than a camper driver Elcie as seen from Pat & Anns appartments roof top terrace in Amsterdam.


Elcie happily enjoying the hussle and bustle of Amsterdams streets!!!
