Y73BUG: February 2016

http://y73bug.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html

Chronicaling the restoration of a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Sunday, February 21, 2016. Last summer I replaced the basic CFL bulb in the garage with a 100w daylight LED bulb. Two four foot long LED shoplights. At least at my local store they're now selling a Honeywell model with a slightly higher (4500 lumens) light output.). Light socket adapter with two outlets. Three prong to two prong adapters. Total was roughly $80 with tax. Crossposted from my house blog. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Y73BUG: Tool Cart

http://y73bug.blogspot.com/2015/09/tool-cart.html

Chronicaling the restoration of a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Monday, September 7, 2015. I love Harbor Freight. They definitely sell some crap but I've used them for years for getting various odds and ends for far cheaper than the big box stores. It's one of those places I can go into and spend quite a while just wandering up and down the aisles finding stuff I didn't even know I needed. It's kind of like following my wife around in Target.

Y73BUG: February 2012

http://y73bug.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Chronicaling the restoration of a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Saturday, February 11, 2012. Paint and Body Update. The Bug came home from American Stripping last Friday. It ended up costing me a little more than I had planned on but with three layers of paint and two of primer it ended up taking longer to strip all of it off. I've added a page with photos and descriptions - Body and Paint Part II. I've also gone back and added a bunch of pictures to Body and Paint Part I. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Y73BUG: September 2015

http://y73bug.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html

Chronicaling the restoration of a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Sunday, September 13, 2015. A few weeks ago I came across this decal. On a site called The Decal Guru. And had to get it for my Mac. Nice addition for about $15/shipped. Monday, September 7, 2015. Link to our house blog.). In the garage at the new house. It's the same size as my old one (and attached to the house) but it's a little more cramped since I no longer have a shed for storing all my yard tools and other stuff. I love Harbor Freight...

Y73BUG: May 2011

http://y73bug.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Chronicaling the restoration of a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Thursday, May 5, 2011. Now that the body is up on sawhorses my attention has turned to addressing the rust and rot on the underside of the body and elsewhere. I've posted a few pictures on the Body and Paint. Page of what I've found so far. By far the worst rot is in the front firewall and front sections of the heater channels. A few weeks ago I ordered a new firewall. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Y73BUG: March 2011

http://y73bug.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Chronicaling the restoration of a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. A few weeks ago I finally ordered the Bug's birth certificate from the Volkswagen AutoMuseum in Wolfsburg, Germany. After meaning to do it for years.) It arrived in the mail today and is one of the neatest additions to my collection of items related to the Bug. Definitely well worth the $50 or so it cost to get it. I've scanned and posted it to a new page. In the "Everything Else" section of the website. With help fr...
