1600 CC VW engine, 2 barrel Weber, electronic ignition
Drivetrain:
4 speed manual, cutting brakes.
Notes:
Bought it off Craigslist for $1500. Runs good, pretty engine, but needs body work and paint. Has decent interior for it's age, but needs updating. Check back for updates as I will be working on it over the summer.
Cleaned the distributor points I cleaned the distributor points and inside of the distributor with a piece of fine grit emery cloth.

Miscellaneous
Sold Fenders, Bug eye kit, and Double tube bumpers I sold the original fenders from my car, as well as the bug eye front end and double tube bumpers on craigslist for $200. These came with the car when I bought it. The guy who bought them may be building me a roll cage in the near future.

Repair
Fixed rear bumper and finished refurbishing exhaust My dad and I tried to put the single tub bumper on my car, it wouldn't go, then we finally figured out that there was an old mounting bracket broken off and stuck in the end of the left hand leg of the bumper. So we cut off about a half inch of the leg, so we could get to the broken bracket. We then heated the leg with the torch and used a variety of tools to try to get the piece out, including breaking an almost new screwdriver. We finally got it to fall down inside, filed a little bit around the edges, and then got it back out and pulled and pried and coaxed it the rest of the way out. Spent about an hour just getting that out. On the good side, now it goes on. I also bought a can of Ace heat paint today, and finished up painting the baja exhaust, stinger, and bendback for the glasspack that I am trying to sell.
