Default Burt t. Beetle 1999 Blue GLS

Well I thought I would start my pictorial chronicle for Burt t. Beetle, a 1999 GLS 2.0. I have owned burt for just over a month, I polished the headlights and have new Koni shocks struts with Elibach springs ready to install next week so this is still the stock before pictures. Pictures were taken around Highlands NC and Rabun Gap GA in October.

The last two are my Sad attempt to be artistic. Hope you enjoy

Smurfette sends her love and I think she was upset with me on the way back from the gtg because I did not get her and his pics together. She acted up the whole way back.. Lol.. Burt looks very handsome though. Great work :-)

Not sure what I was thinking when we left the GtG I meant to make sure we stopped nose to nose for the photo so I could send it to you It was great to meet you at Dreher island, I guess this means we will have to attend another GtG for that first kiss. Burt works hard to be a gentlemen.

Default Suspension

New Koni STR.T Shocks and Struts
Eibach Pro kit springs fornt and rear
KYB mounts front and rear
New hardware

Alignment after installation still shows:
LEFT Right
-0.2 Camber -1.0
7.7 Caster 8.2
.01 Toe .01
14.8 Included Angle 14.5

Front
Cross Camber .8
Cross Caster -.5
Cross SAI -.7

Rear Left Rear Right
-1.1 Camber -1.7
.32 Toe .28

Rear

Few of the settings were not in "tolerance" but since it is a custom set up I hope it will be OK.

Took a short ride and it rides GREAT. Looking forward to some mountain driving this weekend

Pictures will follow when the weather gets better (Cold and Wet).


New head unit going in tomorrow! (Interior Pictures coming soon)

Time to reign in Burt spending until after the holidays ha ha

Very nice! I love the contrast between the Techno blue and the red/orange leaves.
