wbx bug works again!

 i went to somero, with some new battery cables etc to fix that pesky little bug, nutlike i earlier thought, that the problem is with the ground, so i dismantled the battery cable and put wire back in the cable shoe, and the extra wires very tight, and suddenly there was power in the battery. and now it even starts, and runs, and i drove it. i also made it to the cottage, and it was the best day, in a month. yesterday, i picked up a turn signal switch, but looks like it isn't like the original part. but have to check youtube for some help. 

if i got it working again - that might be the biggest issue for that bug, one brake bulb needs to be changed too, and the exhaust needs some welding but then its inspection time. and the turbo kit is getting better all the time. but that's another story. 

wbx bug - here and therewbx,

This thing seems to like driving, and goes like a go-kart, runs easily 120 km/h. 

starts, stops and goes!have to put the audi on hold, maybe to the painter, and some bushings has to be changed. so its time to enjoy the bug.

 

let there be rock, or blues ...mostly...

 i had a space for a music player, but not that actual player, so i had to put a 30 euros bargain new sony mp3 player to the bug. First i thought that maybe it s a bad idea, because of some wiring hanging there, but with a tester, i got the picture, where there's some current. i even found a amp in the bug, and when i tracked the colors, and took out extra wiring. i now have a player in the bug. great thing. 

chrome won't take you far?

 well for me it just works. better than the silver rattle can one. suits fine with the wheels.

Fuchs wheel (copy) gets new paint

 Had to mask / paint the last wheel, so that i could get the winter tires under. and whats best, i might get a chrome bumper to the front, with the blinker of course. damn, this little bug is getting pretty. have to locate the center caps to the wheels also. and some chromed bolts. and a rear seat too...and what else?

The spring is coming!!!!

 Had to go to the garage, and try to do something. so i started to paint the winter wheel setup, as the snow might be melting... heh, better late than...i also grabbed the Aircooled.fi turbo exhaust with me to the garage, to show it to a fellow vw-nutcase. Im not sure, if its wise to test fit the turbo-setup to the wbx engine, but it sure is tempting. I'm afraid to snap a bolt or something, as the bug is inspected and totally working. it only would need to be driven. Nothing ever goes like intended, so this could end into something that aint so funny. lets see how things will proceed.

small things happening

 i tried the fuchs copy wheels... to the purple bug, 

well looks ok. now with winter tires - but the rears are still to be painted, 

maybe today? will see...
