Tom's (PCC) 36hp air cleaner restoration. The curve of the water slide maintenance decal didn't match the dome on this 7/58 oil bath, so it was passed on for now. #vw #36hp #vwbeetle #vintagevw #vwrestoration https://www.instagram.com/p/BwBYHQThAZG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=112pm3ucnucom

Jesus has sat, waiting patiently with her new decorations, since we parked her in the spring. A busy summer, and a general sense of “where do we start? What needs to be done? What do we DO??” has led to leaving this be for a while. So now I’m going to start figuring all that out - starting with figuring out how to figure it out. I have the service manual - yay! I also have The Internet. There are videos of VW restorations all over the web, and I need to watch them; get ideas, see how it’s done.

What I know right now is that the van can be divided into smaller projects, and tackled section by section:

1. Exterior (body)

2. Dormobile roof

3. Wheels and tires

4. Glass and lights

5. Interior

6. Moving parts: engine, transmission, brakes, fuel, etc.

- I’d like a photo documentation of everything in and on the van; every surface area snapped, so I can look at it when I can’t look directly at the van.

- We need to start with the Dormobile roof. The open glass needs to be closed, and the van made weatherproof inside;

- Then we can work on the interior over the winter;

- Exterior and moving parts in the spring.

Where best to document this? Here? IG? I’d like input as we go. I don’t just want to journal.

A spreadsheet to keep track of everything will be helpful.

@Regranned from @ozthebus - ~👑Kingpin👑~ the dreaded #kingpin repair is underway for this #1967 split 🤦‍♂️ but its moving along nicely so far! @widefive (specializing in vw’s at www.widefive.net) will be doing the rebuilds, if any others out there have just a little too much play in that front end. This one, about a 1/8 to 1/4 play, id say its time. #kingpins #rebuild #toomuchwork 😁 😄.......... #doitright —> #widefive <— #spindles #vwrepair #vwrestoration #vwaircooled #vwlove #t2 #vwlife #classicvw #vwworld #vwlifestyle #vwsplit #vwculture #splitbus #vwcustom #volkswagen #slammed #vdubs #vwfam #splitwindowbus #vwlovers #wednesdaymotivation #patina having this repair finished will bring me #peace✌ Please tag @ozthebus if you use our images. enjoy. ✌🏻️
