I had a 73 super beetle in the mid 80's - did an ass load of work to that critter. Full engine overhaul, interior, windshield etc.
Then I center punched a vintage LTD with that poor thing.

It died. :cry:
When my first husband and I got married he had a 1974 Super Beetle. In my youthful enthusiasm I overhauled the engine, put on a Holley carb blah blah blah. Shortly thereafter we sold it. Within three days of buying it the kid who bought it totaled it! He had not bothered to get insurance and had the nerve to ask for his money back LOL

"Oh I loved it! just a few changes, I used fish instead of chicken, added 1/2 cp sugar..."
Yeah change the recipe entirely then whine it wasn't right. Although you'll find that some people manage to fix it up.

Bunch of everyday stuff at work except about an hour before I left. The other maintenance guy asked to borrow my complex's carpet cleaner because something was wrong with his. I quickly found out what his problem was. He was using like 10x the amount of soap the bottle recommended and he was pre-treating the carpet to saturation.

On my Squareback put in Porsche shifter, linkage, clutch, empy exhaust, a few other things. Got the HP up. But damn I couldn't get it to handle like a Porsche lol

If I posted that I would have the SRG threw my door in a heartbeat (srg is oz version of SWAT) lol. You can’t get auto’s in Oz and you can barely get a semi auto unless your in a gun club and you leave it there. Basically you can get a rifle or shotty for hunting and vermin control and then you need a licence to hunt a individual animal.
Then you have to give police 24 hour access to your property to check your guns/safe whenever they see fit. There’s more but I would be here all day
