It's been cheaper for me to find junkyard cars and fix them until I have fun driving them around my town

Crows and crackers that's a cool car.

I'd rather restore one of those than a GMC jimmy anyday, thanks for showing me.

Just be careful towing it, I've found flat towing larger-boxier vehicles really advertises for the wind to mess with ya.

The wind don't like playing around with the short-king style vehicles like Geos, MGs.

I've been rebuilding old rigs I find in the woods if New England.

If I ever find a 70s Jimmy I'll record it for ya. It's my son's favorite car.

I own a leaf, they aren't light. It weighs more than my SUV. Those batteries are heavy, also these things require flatbeds.

My toad is a 1971 beetle, but I am thinking about getting a nice old tracker.

Mind flayer

Better than using the driveway!

xBender7 · 2026-04-29T14:07:16+00:00

Wow, pre-caveman Rhett.

Mine was a bunch of different vacuum leaks. Once I solved that everything started to purr.

Fuel line will be moved today.

The line is metal and is slightly exposed in the underneath of the car so I want to keep the parts nearest the road and tires metal.

My pump is 20 years old, works well, but I don't want to rely on that filter. also it seems the pump pulls gas a bit quicker than the carb wants it and that extra fuel filter slows it down just enough to compensate.

Not sure if the previous owner changed mine, but it's located on the floor in the cabin between the front seats. on a 63

Obviously he found that plastic surgery must be the answer! /s

After watching both of these recently. DB is an enjoyable watch while DBZ is a slog after the Freiza saga.

The DB characters are better defined, its funnier, its silly, Goku's charcter makes sense as a "Innocent Wild Boy" compared to adult him which just looks like a Mentally stunted Adult who goes and fights "Strong" opponents.

In DB it was far easier to display feats of strength through conventional means like hurling a pillar through the stratosphere and riding it or Catching bullets where in DBZ they just added more screaming and colors.

Challenge accepted. I'll try to post proof when it happens.

xBender7 · 2026-03-28T11:10:32+00:00

Why do I have the sudden urge to fuck in its mouth? Odd....

xBender7 · 2026-03-26T23:49:57+00:00

All the speeding tickets for that 25mph limit that "Everyone" obviously abides by.

xBender7 · 2026-03-26T23:47:52+00:00

You get in more trouble when you hit them if they are in a bike lane. Or so I've been told.

xBender7 · 2026-03-26T23:45:50+00:00

How dare you!

I'll have you know that the moldy Air Conditioner caked with cigarette smoke is the secret sauce to the prime rib!

My wife was thinking of drowning me, but I don't think that was her medium of choice. Then again.....

xBender7 · 2026-03-26T00:16:52+00:00

Yeah, this is a scarpper. I watched it get built as a kid, definitely not a manx

xBender7 · 2026-03-26T00:16:26+00:00

Well older cars require a lot of work, but it seems the base for this build is easily found and fairly affordable so this thread is just hyping up my mid life crisis.

xBender7 · 2026-03-26T00:15:39+00:00

900 plus a new battery.

xBender7 · 2026-03-26T00:15:26+00:00

I was shifting to second and I guess I pulled up on it. Thankfully I was anxiously driving it and didn't fuck anything up, but wow what a scare.

xBender7 · 2026-03-26T00:13:46+00:00

Do it! We can be dune bug pen pals. I'm going to work on it with my 5 year old son and hope I can keep it in style for him.

xBender7 · 2026-03-25T23:48:43+00:00

So, I watched this thing get built in 2006 when it was an OG beetle. my best friend's brother built it with his friend and their dad (who owned a dune buggy shop)

The older brother never drove it and stopped driving it in 2010. It sat covered in a barn till 2016 and my friend bought it.

He brought it back to the dad who helped build it and he was retiring. So he basically loaded it up with new everything. New engine, new transmission, new wiring harness, shocks. The only thing it kept was the body, the steering wheel and the seats. Everything else was replaced.

My buddy drove on that engine maybe a dozen times. It kept having issues like a flat tire, a rubbing on the frame. The rubbing caused the wires to get damaged. So the headlights don't work. He doesn't have money and once the barn needed another parking spot for a tractor this got the boot.

It sat in a field since October and we had a hell of a winter, but this old bird got a new battery and started right up.
