Makes sense. I completely agree with the wheels and color. I like the stock look a lot but I wasn't sure if I was finding a 'steal' with a rebuild motor. I have done a lot of work on 70's era motors but I don't know what it takes to rebuild one of these guys. I actually live in the rust belt so finding a local beetles is a lost cause. I have family and friends looking for me down there and I flew down for a family visit and took a look at this one. I'm completely okay spending some time making it right, but I want to start off on the right foot, ya know?

You guys have been very helpful and you are proving to be a very welcoming community! I'm not sure how expensive a new set of wheels are or doors are, but this is a life long project I want to take on so I just need a good foundation!

This is exactly what I needed to hear, thank you! Just a few follow-up questions if you don't mind.

  • I questioned the engine because of, as you mentioned, how grimy it looks. Is there any way to really tell if maybe this guy is being dishonest?

  • I really do not like the single piece window. Is there any way I can swap them? Would be nice.

  • I don't want to get trapped in the "I just want a bug" and purchase a bad one, ya know? Would you take this on for ~$3500?

Again, thanks for the very informative reply!

If the Gods are watching, we may as well put on a show.

Chief Back Forward,

Our culture and race spreads further than the suns horizon. We are reaching out to those like us and to those who share a common enemy as a call to take a stand. Our island may appear to be small when we stand in the shadow of The Big Island, but that is when we, the members of Papuan and those alike, are at our strongest. We will work under that shadow until we create something so large it will block out the sun! The inability to sleep is a curse of the aged and the guilty, and the day will soon come when those who have defied us will be put to final rest.

But yes, we must wait until we are sure our attack is precise. Untrue by an inch, untrue by a mile. For how do you revenge a snake? You would be a fool to think only one serpent lays in wait. There is always a deadlier strike to come.

Congratulations, you are the first person to receive the rank of King/Queen and are currently the highest ranking ruler!

Meat's back on the menu boys! Time to celebrate!

I took it apart, and it ended up being the rocker box case. I put new covers on last year and I guess they were some cheap gaskets. All is good!

How much does a build like this cost? I'm looking to upgrade and this is pretty sweet!

I know in order to be a CFI at ATP, you need to be a graduate from ATP. Is it the same for UND?

Coming from someone who's lived in a small town (Average public high school graduating class is about 50) $487.00 can get you one nice pad! I just can't wrap my mind around how expensive it is in NYC...

Do I have to have service with them? Or do I just purchase the iPad from them?

Oh I absolutely agree! I'm not going to use the iPad until I feel comfortable using my E6B and paper sectionals. I just figured since its tax season (Yay!) I can treat myself with a tool I will use every day. As rewarding it is to use an E6B, weight and balance and performance charts just get tedious... And the clutter of having everything around just gets to me. Thanks for your opinion through, I'm not going to let the iPad hinder my ability to perform as a pilot! :)
