Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Bought this 72 VW. I had one just like it in 1980. Well mine was tan and in a lot better shape (until I smashed it up in 1982.(OOPS!)
It runs okay, meaning it runs although I'm not going to get too far on flat tires. New ones should be here tomorrow. Not bad for $750

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
GoTenn, I've had crappie fishing on my mind this last week something fierce. It sure has been windy up here though. Those are beauties John.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Paul, another beetle? You've got a small herd going on. Do any of them run? I have peeked at some new and reman'd vw engines and man they are pricey.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not on my truck , but on my daughters. Over the last week or so I torn down her seat from her '72 and repaired three broken springs, added burlap to the back of the foam, added 1/2 high density foam to the seating area and replaced the upholstery with pre sewn kit from LMC Truck . First time tackling this myself and I like the way it turned out.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Those were from Lake Greeson. I think the spawn there is just about over, but I've heard that you can still catch em casting shallow at Lake Ouachita.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks Boog. She came out this afternoon and helped me get it in the truck. Then we took the truck to town and she probably spent over $15 washing it for the first time in over 6 years. She has had it parked in her garage waiting for the day she could start giving it some Love. I gave it to her for High School graduation 17 years ago.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Don't park them too close together or they will multiply.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got the ok from my neck surgeon and my shoulder surgeon to go to the gym. I joined Planet Fitness, its new, and clean, and low key.
I went in and walked on the treadmill for a little while and I noticed a machine like Ive been using at my PT appointments. Its like an exercise bicycle except that is has little handles instead of pedals and its shoulder high. You can "pedal" it forwards and backward using your hands, arms and shoulders. PT guy says its good for shoulders. So I hopped on and started pressing buttons, nothing. So I was thinking maybe I have to get it in motion before the screen popped up, yep that was it. I took several attempts to get it dialed in and then hitting enter, stupid thing kept shutting off. Head hung low I went up to the desk and asked the young lady worker to give me a hand. No problem sir, lets take a look. She came over and told me she had never used this machine before ... Oh great. I told her what I was doing only this time when I peddled I let her push the buttons, same buttons I was pushing. Boom, it worked. Good grief.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks ! I was intimidated at first and asked a friend that had an upholstery shop for years to help , he got busy and I decided to go ahead and try it. It wasn't hard to do after all.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The feel of a redone seat is one of the best feelings, after having a messed up one. I bet she's real pleased

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went to change the oil on the 03 Tacoma . Get under it and it’s wet with oil. Remove the belly shield and lo and behold the oil pan is seeping all over . It rotted away . So now it’s sidelined till I get time to do it . Not an easy job either I have two choices either pull the motor or drop the front differential and suspension . I’ll most likely go with dropping the suspension and put all new bushings in and struts . Truck has 210k miles on it
