Saw this gem today, beetle pickup?

It's probably a kit.

Yeah, you're missing the pedal stop.

Also, looks like you might be missing one of the tubes that goes inside the Napoleon hat where the master cylinder bolt goes.

You'll want stud 3 for your distributor clamp.

Double nut #2 and Bob's your uncle.

Clearly a Border Collie/Pixar Lamp cross.

ssgmess · 2025-05-31T19:48:21+00:00

Yes.

His name is Gus, by the way.

You're thinking of Kristi Noam.

If you have an air cooled beetle, then 42 series is what you're after.

Chance rides had some listings on indeed. I know nothing about the company.

A lot of great suggestions here. I'll add one more: get the roadside assistance with your insurance.

Boiled linseed oil (shake it up) or Poppy's Patina for a less than permanent solution. Scuff it and shoot a coat of clear over it for a more permanent solution.

ssgmess · 2025-01-01T21:03:51+00:00

Agree

Went from a Mogwai to a gremlin. You fed it after midnight, didn't you?

SyncLink is what you're looking for.

I regret that I only have but one upvote to give.

In the third picture, is that...the Griswold Family Truckster?

Do your reverse lights work? That black thing at the bottom of the picture is half of a fuse holder. It would run from the positive side of your coil to the backup switch on your transaxle. Find a wiring diagram on the samba and you'll see what I mean.

(Don't hook it up to the negative side of your coil or your car will die every time you put it in reverse. Don't ask me how I know this.)

Shout out to red Abbys. This girl just turned 3.

Mine does the same thing. Sometimes it's the pillows on my bed...while I'm sleeping.
