(10-21-2014) The Silver Beetle Lives!

Last night we finished up the engine install for the silver beetle and got it running.  It was running rough at first, but after clearing the codes on the ECU and letting it run for a while it actually sounds really good now.  There are a handful of small things to look into - O2 sensors, coolant leak, plugs and wires and general reassembly and clean up.  It's great to see one of these cars brought back to life.

Oh, and yesterday I got a thank you note from the post carrier for putting up a new mailbox.  I thought that was cool.  I'm glad they like the new mailbox.
