Sonoran Dave Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I'm jealous Jack. That has turned into a nice looking Bug! I am seriously thinking of trading my VW buggy for a Beetle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoJack Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 Baja down, had bad blow-by so did a teardown. Cracked block so new case, ouch. Blue printing and balancing as I go. Square cut cam / timing gear, serpentine belt will make it last longer. Used Plastigauge for clearance on new bearings. Cool, never knew of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pairadiceau Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 GeoJack, Great thread, I also played with bugs years ago. I had a Baja but my favorite was a 64 rag top sunroof, i found it sitting in a gas station in Vidal Junction on a trip to the river. I was driving a semi to a company get together at the river, my girlfriend was with me and did not know how to drive a stick shift, however she was a good student and was shifting well in short order. We convoyed, (a very short convoy) to the river, less than a hundred miles I think and had a good story to tell when we rolled in there. After a day or so I took off to do drops in Az. and we loaded the bug into an empty trailer and the company took it back to Orange County. It was a really fun car and she was a wonderful person.... Good memories.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoJack Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 I had two panel vans, 59 and 61 as well as a 59 ragtop sunroof bug. Wish I still had those vans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
