Washed and fixed right tail light which was not sitting in tightly. What a weird design and assembly. Mr. Bentley was no help with this. I probably should have looked for DIY instructions here.

I stayed home today due to snow so I gave Pepper a "new" (salvaged) tail light today. Yes!!!! 10 to 15 minute DIY
When we bought her she came with the optional "fish tank" inside the passenger tail light
BTW if you are wondering the same thing I did, tail lights are the same from 98 to 2005
I installed one from a 98 donor coupe, may he/she rest in pieces
On the second pic u can see the two holes I had to drill so I could get rid of the fishy!

If you need a R (driver side) PM me, I got an extra one.







Ahhhh, finally as good as new.

More snow, huh? How are those bids coming? I'm slammed doing the same thing!

To bad you drilled the holes. Would have made an unusual fish bowl/conversation piece, a custom base and a fish or two, for your coffee table! lol

R.

I washed the salt off of Sweet Pea today. It was a really quick wash and rinse because it's only 18 degrees outside.
Also, bought this at the supermarket today:

I bought a new battery for my bug today. I bought her last year (used) and turns out the battery was at least five years old. Now she's happily running on this snowy day.

I waxed Sweet Pea again today. They're predicting more snow on Tuesday, so I wanted to be prepared.

After searching extensively for the part, I finally received my "cargo cover" via UPS and put it in my trunk...



I still don't understand why the previous owner took the original one out in the first place...

Sweet Peas' new hub cap came in the mail today, so I put that on. I also cleaned the salt off of her with some quick detailer spray.

The Dune Buggy has received a full tank of gas and a drive though the car wash. Sparkling!
