Nice work Cornell. Just found this for you; a list of ICBC acceptable modifications that you can do, and still be eligible for Collector Plates.  http://icbc.com/insurance/pdf/approv...parts_list.pdf

Thanks Andy but I've given up on the collector plates as they're just too restrictive. As you can see above I've already got a 12-1/2" steering wheel in there, the windows are all tinted and waiting to be installed after the headliner gets done, and I'm putting a nice sound system in. I couldn't live with just an AM radio. I've also got a new set of Empi 8 spoke wheels. Eventually, it sure could use about a 2" lowering job.

Thanks guys. It's funny how almost everyone who sees the bug has a bug experience to share. For now it seems to be running fine with the original running gear (it doesn't even slow down on 4 Mile hill in 3rd. gear) but if I manage to scrounge some more funds I can see an engine rebuild as a winter project for some extra oomph! For now I'm broke and happy to just be driving the darned thing.

Well, it's been running like crap but I'd hoped I'd get to next winter before engine rebuilding. No such luck. Intake valve guide for #1 cylinder is moving in the head so the valve can't close properly, no wonder power is weak with only 3 cylinders working. New heads, cylinders, piston rings & clutch are ordered and beetle is now 4 bolts away from an enginectomy. I'll have to take some pics as I go. Unfortunately my Honda VTR1000F is now for sale to pay for all this.  | |

It's not so bad, I pretty much bought the bike as an investment because the price was right so it was temporary anyway. Now I'll have the Beetle to play with instead.

I hope mine will be okay. It's the Dansk(sp?) stuff with ceramic coating added from CIP1.

Well, I guess this is pretty much the end of this progress thread as she's pretty much finished. See you all around at some of the car shows. I'll be at Volksfest VW Show & Shine July 12th at Gyro Park if any of you folks are into VW's. I'm sure happy with the way it turned out. Old VW's have got to be the absolute easiest restoration as so much is still available CHEAP from Mexico and Brazil.
