I’m rather shocked. Since my original planning sessions last year I haven’t altered things too much for what I’d like to do in 2019. The engines need to be the primary early focus of the year, with the immediate goal of getting Żuczek B. and Curious (Yellow) running, stopping, and generally driving. That includes…

Future 2110cc Engine
So I’ve spent a lot of hours working on my future higher performance daily driver engine. This of course is all still fantasy until there’s a car ready enough to contain it. And that’s many thousands of dollars and many hundreds of hours in the future. But… we all need plans and goals, no? And…
I like me some purple passion!
Now matter how many cars I look at for inspiration, I keep coming back to Eastwood Purple Passion Intermix Paint. My love of Decepticon Shockwave just keeps governing all thoughts. The purple, with two shades of grey as accents, and bits of orange here and there really might work. Purples are so not easy though….
Strut Decisions!
So it is time to think about future strut replacements. Do I import Kerscher Tuning 1302 struts or go with what will ultimately be a lower cost domestic solution in the Topline Parts Maxx struts?
Years away… but thinking… interiors.

ATS Cup Alloy Wheels in the US?
So I was putzing around some European vendors looking for fenders and came across wheels I don’t think I really ever noticed before on any cars (in pics or in life). The ATS Cup alloy wheels appear to be various sizes and widths with a 4 x 100 pattern. Not quite 4 x 130 but…
The wheels on the 1302 go round and round.
So I came across an image of a modded basic stock steel wheel off of the 2012 and later Beetles that I kind of actually like. The 2012 and later stock basic steel wheels used on a variety of VW models are pretty much the same as the ones on the MARK IV ones with…
And there shall come a color pallet!
Now there’s one thing abut me that most people in the VW community would have no clue about and that is my past as an avid Transformers collector. For the better part of the naughts, I had a collection of 2500+ figures from 1984 and more or less stopped collecting around 2011. I had a…
