Best I could do with felt and CA glue

Started on the fuel tank. Looks like Bubba couldn't find the right tank.



I've used this trick before, but it's a good trick so here it is again: LED fuel filter. Need a VW weenie to school me on where the fuel inlet line runs, it looks like there's too much heat in that neighborhood.



Made a 3-bolt flange for the stinger, but I don't think those nuts are gonna come off.

[Duuuuuuuude]

IIRC the fuel line comes in from the drivers side. Been a long damn time though...

[Slowbro]

VW weenie found! ...Yep drivers side of firewall to fuel pump which is right next to the distributor. Love this build! Makes me wanna build a replica of mine

[microgoat]

Another short day, but a good one.



Fuel tank installed, sending unit wired. How do these luggage compartments get so nasty?



Tool box and helmet in the back



Steering wheel



Speaking of wheels, I widened the other two VW wheels. These tuck under the fenders a lot better than the Torq-Thrusts, but I'm torn. Anyone got an opinion either way?



And that pesky fuel line is hooked up. That finishes off the engine.

[EeePee]

I have no opinion about the wheels, but I'm curious why there's a Colt 45 can in there.

And to post to mention that you're goofy.

[666]

Awesome build!

I say next build should be a VW Scirocco!

[Duuuuuuuude]

Now THAT is a proper looking floorpan.

The kick plates are still clean though.

Ha. Because chrome coil-covers cost money. You younguns with your coil-on-plug ignition will never know the joy of wrapping a beer can around your coil.

Oh, and Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, I noticed the kick panels earlier. I'll take care of it.

My Datsun got its spark from a Keystone can.

I'm almost as old as you, been into cars all my life, and have never heard of such a thing.

[microgoat]

Those 8-oz Coors cans were the perfect size, but marked you as a Coors drinker.

You've been hanging out with the wrong kind of car guys, then.

Yea, another little trick, at least for trail riding, is if you manage to spring a leak in your radiator pepper from a pepper mill will plug it long enough to get you off the trail Oh and Stu, I LOVE IT! The beer can is just great!

You know that vw's are air cooled, right?

[microgoat]

We used to torture the kid at the shop by asking him to check the coolant in the Corvair

Then.

[Cheatin]

Got to rust out under the battery and cut a piece of 3/8 ply to keep it from dragging on the road, and a red plastic roller gas pedal.

I was just brining up a little trick, not one specific to VW's

[BigBaller]

Still looking GREAT Stu!
