(2014-10-25) New Beetle, old Beetle and more cleaning...


Friday and Saturday were busy days around the shop.  Flash and I worked on the new Beetle some more, and it's nearly ready to go.  I think we're going to lower it and put some different wheels and tires on it, along with various other small fixes to make it a more comfortable car to drive.




I also put the old Beetle on jack stands and welded up any weak spots in the floor pans. 

Then I used POR-15 to protect the floor pans from rust in the future.  I still need to put on another coat, but they should be protected from rust from now on.
We also cleaned out a lot of things in the shop that didn't really need to be in the shop.  Old motors, various bit of cars that aren't needed at the moment and moved those things into storage until they are needed.  The shop still needs a lot of cleaning, but it's getting back to where it needs to be.
