Well it took awhile but I now have number four; thanks to BeetleGirl11.

This photo is after we got back from New Jersey that night.

This one however will require some work to get it running as the timing belt went bad; before I start the tear down I will clean it up and take the "Before" photos; I'm doing a DIY and here is the link for the Cylinder Head Rebuild Project

And the remaining NB family can be found here...

... my First - Valdez
... my Second - Dear
... my Third - HiLiter

So now it is time to start the cylinder head removal and here is the link for the Cylinder Head Rebuild Project

My objective is to have it running by Labor Day so I can take it on vacation to Massachusetts for the Labor Day holiday.

Well it is not going to be ready by Labor Day; shooting for Halloween or before it gets too cold, as I would wait for spring if it takes that long. I really do not like working on cars in the cold.

The car looks great! And a SILVER one too! So who's going to drive it when it can run?

The wife and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary this year and it is my anniversary upgrade from my '98 2.0 to a '00 1.8T!

The '98 is going to retire and become the swap car.

Wow, you have a whole dub family! That's awesome! I love silver cars (slightly bias) although, when waxed on a SUPER sunny day...it is hard to see. I think I'll need sunglasses just to look at my car! lol

Wow, you are a brave soul to have that many diffrent bugs.

The only way I keep my sanity is that all 3 of my bugs are basically the same car (same engine/same year).

Keep Bugg'n !!

Side note--That is an awesome write-up.
