back on the bug


The weather here in Knoxville is turning cooler with the trees changing color. I've been trying to get motivated to work on my Bug more. There have been some things to hold me back like finding replacement bumper mounts or some way to rebuild them. I've been trying to rebuild the vent windows too. After some searching online for vital parts, I finally found them! I ordered them and they started arriving yesterday. I threw on my coveralls and got busy working on the Bug again. it felt good to be working on my car and to be making real progress.  A member of the local Bug club came over to my house with his '74 Bug so I could compare the wiring and see where I was going wrong. Seeing a live Bug was a huge help. I still have a long way to go but at least I'm moving forward.
