Managed to find a spare drivers side lock mech in my shed. Needs a clean up and a missing spring replacing but it seems to move nicely. This spring (red arrow) is the one that pushes the mechanism back when the door handle trigger is released. I wonder if the one on the lock on the car is broken.  |

Ashamed to say i've only driven my bug 75 miles since its MOT 10 months ago.  Horn seems to be sorted and i replaced the door lock and its working fine too though. I still need to get the tracking checked (though i think its pretty close anyway) but i've just not had the inclination to get it out of the garage and take it for a run. Theres nothing to go to in it and i'm not finding it much fun just driving round on my own.
When the weather has been fine i've been working on getting my VW T3 caravelle welded up before the weather changes and working outside welding and painting is off the cards.

Just reset the front toe in. Now 4mm vs the 3.5cm (yes cm) it was before. That might cut down on the 70s cop show tyre squeal a little.

What a fine looking Bug. May I suggest a subtle change to the colour of your wheels to white to match the lower side stripes? The accessories remind me of my childhood in the early 70s and that's no bad thing! |

I was trying to make them look a bit like the original split EMPI syder mags, though the colour is more blue-ish. White would go nicely. Its just poundland aerosol primer at the moment. I wanted to build it to look like something that was modified in the late 70's early 80s. I really wanted to go with huge wolfrace slotmags with flared wheel arches. I found a pair of flared rear arches but could never track down the matching fronts. Until 2 weeks after i sold the rears.  |
