That bug was just waiting for those tires wasn't it.

The wire loom looks great.

I really dig that steering wheel. Gold glitter is the best.

Thanks! The steering wheel is one of those, things that makes you smile every time you see it.

I put in a modern blade style fuse box from Torque Resto yesterday. Pics here: http://robonza.com/beetle/index.php/2024/04/29/installing-modern-blade-fuses-torque-resto-parts/

Went for a cruise on the super fun close little trail. Ran into a tiny dinosaur.

I know this is not a rational decision, but I swapped out the Hella Valuefit lights for KC LEDs. The look is more what I was going for. Also the silly logo speaks to me.

I went with spots on the roof and driving on the front.

I tuned the carb with some guidance from my VW mechanic friend. He is 80 years young and is a font of VW knowledge. It was sounding a little lumpy at idle, now it roars like a dragon Smile
