1966 Beetle

 I had broken 2 Accelerator cables in 2004. So, I ordered the monster cable from aircooled.net which has a lifetime replacement as long as I use it as a accelerator pedal : ) But it didn't fit like I had expected it to. This thing is a monster. The crimped end is much thicker than a stock cable, and a lot longer. It wouldn't fit into my cable tube. : ( So I had to make some slight modifications...

 

   
Replaced the tie rod ends and the steering damper on the front end... much better  
   
Christmas day 2004... Sort of a white Christmas...

   
New tires on the front end. Tire monkeys pulled the studs out of my drums... pulled the threads right out with the impact wrench. I think they are cheap drums, time to order some new ones and maybe a steering box.... but I definitely need to get the front end aligned.  
   
 Starting to polish and wax the roof and the decklid... they are very oxidized
