So while I am not confined to work-at-home due to the COVID19 virus quarantine in our state, and even though all of the parts I ordered finally arrived to allow me to being the work on Murbella, my son changed his mind on his blown up Jetta GLI and has decided to rebuild that engine….

Murbella? Add some color to her seat covers?
So from what I can tell, Murbella’s driver seat and rear seat have the original covers on them. However, her passenger seat has had a bit of fraying in the vinyl since before I bought her. When I bought her, her prior owner gave me a new seat cover he had purchased but it never…
Fun with sourcing parts.
So I decided to take advantage of 2 stores’ sales to get the bulk of what I need for my 2020 Murbella work. Ultimately I ended up having to source from 4 stores since I wanted a better solution for the future rear brake lines. I got the bulk of my parts from California Import…

Reference – 70’s Era VW Evap Emissions Canister
What is the Air-Cooled VW Evap Emissions System? Starting in the early 70’s, all VW’s were equipped with simple fuel vapor emissions control systems. This system did not deal with any kind of exhaust emissions, but was installed to deal with situations where the fuel in the tank would pressurize and vaporize due to different…
