I thought I'd share the task of me building my car :3 Feel free to read, masturbate to and indulge yourself in my effort
So because I am a special child instead of buying a car like a normal human I decided to yeet myself this bad boi
Sexy isn't he? This is a 1968 VW Beetle UwU My son
My plan is to fully repair, restore and upgrade this bad boy by summer :D
Allow me to run over some of the current jobs, aside from the obvious ones you can see such as, finding where the hecking wings got to because they're not there?!??!?!!? big confusion
Firstly I need to yeet a new handbrake because the cable, like my will to live, snapped like a toothpick and the only thing stopping the car from rolling out into the road like the runaway train is my Dad's campervan but the bright side it means he can't force me to the lake district until I do which is nice
Another important job, find where the HECK is the engine is, because it is currently...on holiday? I was thinking of upgrading to a Subaru Impreza engine as it will fit in the bay and it will make achieving 70mph on the motorway something attainable
One thing I did notice when I inspected the car is the gearstick has somehow yeeted itself out of the transmission so that probably needs doing
The steering wheel as also run off and been replaced with that one you see there, this was done by my dad so we could actually get it out the garage where it had been sitting for 20 years, a new one shall be sourced. Where the cassette player is now a lovely hole, I was thinking of fitting a more modern system
The current plan right now is to wait until my dad has finished building the garage at our house so I can actually start working on it, I need to look at the suspension and chassis as I suspect they have withered away like my hopes and dreams, I'll update this as I go along lets hope I don't die
