Well, I first thought my starter was dead, trying to fire up the #MeyersManx #Dunebuggy #Volkswagen for the first time this year.

First a little background, ever since the 1964 was converted to 12 volts, I have been bragging that the original 6 volt starter and ring gear from the 1300 cc has been starting the buggy for the past 45 years. Yup, I’m driving the same car from when I turned 16 years old… I bought the 1964 Beetle to replace the rusted and battered 1958 chassis.

Anyway back to my dead starter, it turned out to be my jumper cables were broken. Connected the battery directly and everything worked, after a few tries, to get the fuel pumped up to the carbs from sitting over the winter… the sweet, sweet sounds of the 1600cc powerhouse.

All I have to do now is finish putting it back together again from #ProjectChassis

Cheers,

Well, there has been some delays trying to get a head start on #badmanxbuggy . We have had a crazy winter, with freezing rain, winter thaws and freezing over again. This year I had water leak into the garage all around the perimeter and freeze up again. Last week was the first time I could get the man door open, to get in my garage and assess the mess.

FYI, my garage is over 100 years old and not very big. But, perfect for #Badmanxbugg

The weather forecast is looking better and should be around 15 degrees Celsius today.

Last week, surprise drive to work….

Time to get something done today
