Smile beatle in the works

I am working on my second beetle. Here is a pictures I took today. Changed the transmission mounts, another transmission nose cone, filled it with gear oil, put a starter on it and attached the clutch cable to it. Plus I put an ignition switch. I will adjust the points and clean up the carb on the engine tomorrow.
Today I also got a really strong clutch today at my favorite vw shop.

Sounds like you're working pretty fast! Either that, or you just mentioned a lot of things that are really easy to do.

Have fun with your new project!

Oh. I read the title and thought maybe you were resurrecting George or John...

Looks like a fun project, BTW. Good luck. Keep us posted.

Maybe it just has a lifted rear end.
