Winter projects...
Neil Davies:
I know there's an In da Werks section, but just wondering what projects everyone has got on for the winter months. From a complete resto to just parking it on axle stands, what are you all up to?
I'll start - the brakes in my car need sorting. Think there's a leak between the reservoir and the master cylinder, so that's my job I want to get on with. Then carry on driving it!
andrewlandon67:
Replacing my mostly stock transmission with a much stronger one and repairing some rust are my biggest plans for the winter. I'm also hoping to have some spare time to fix some cracks/flaws in the rim of my Coach wheel and clean it up a bit. Maybe tinker with my brakes a bit, check all the front end bits, etc. No matter what happens, I'm planning on having my car back on the road and raising hell by March!

I wish...
Santa will have to bring me a garage first

I just picked up a '66 Beetle from my dad a few weeks ago. Like Neil's car, I think there is a leak between the reservoir and the master cylinder. Other than that it's a driver. Hope to get that taken care of before spring.
Meanwhile I am awaiting a rebuilt trans for my '67. Once that is done I plan to get the fresh 1915 ready for summer driving in the '67.
Glauco:
Brakes for me as well. Fitted disc brakes in the rear.
Also sorted out the rear suspension, after I took way to long to notice I had some of the wrong parts mounted. Should be all better now. Next is fitting an AN6 fuel line because the stock on broke just where it exits the fork... and mounting a electric fuel pump when the gas tank is out.
Oh yeah, and getting the 40s jetted. And replace the rubber oil lines with AN8 ones..
And maybe if I have a little winter left, try to get the dropped spindles to accept the 944 discs brakes so I can hopefully have some spring rate back in front..
