Ramblings about my 1973 VW Thing and 1964 VW Beetle.
1973 Thing (Type 181)
The Thing was a hopeless basket case I picked up for free in June 2008. It's an ongoing project with a goal to create a reliable "desert beater" on a budget. Form follows function with this car, and I've freely cut, hacked and welded to improve off road performance and safety with no regard to keeping the car original or restoreable. Old blog archives document the build to date.
1964 Beetle
I purchased this car in 1993. I performed piecemeal repairs and intermittently drove it until 2005, when I performed a body-off-pan rebuild with a 2110cc engine, 4-wheel disk brakes, lowered suspension, and irritatingly loud stereo...essentially my "dream car" from High School. The rebuild is not documented here but the car is now included since this is part of my air cooled addiction.
