All is in this new topic's title. Explain us what do you do today in contact with our hobby. So I begin....... I go to see a 67 european bug for sale. Car is in poor condition with lot of work on body. So, i hate to say that but the actual owner keeps it.  And you, what do you do today ?  |

Not much today. Just looking out the window at my 68 Bus is pretty much it for the day. I will be staring on a 4.56 geared transaxle for it soon though.

I am in the process of a complete wiring harness replacement in my oval. Today I wired up my gauges and lots of odds and ends. Last thing to do is the license plate light and I will be done.

I'm in the interior of BC (very dry climate) hunting old vw's. At one time this area was littered with barn doors and early vw's.
+36 here today!

Found a nice copy of Keith's book for thirty bucks, so I bought it. Drove the 66 to work as usual - 75 miles a day and it just keeps cruising.
