Okay, so
the overhaul really is over and Mo’s engine has been put back together again.
In fact, some of his engine parts have been painted and I’m guessing that’s
what made the sight of it infinitely more awesome. The fuel tank’s going to be
cleaned and it’ll get a fresh coat of paint and rust proofing. I bought the
wrong sized fan belt last week, so I’ll have to bring it back and get a longer
one (also, I learned that Volkwagen Beetles do not have timing belts, only fan
belts. I panicked when I saw “Timing Belt” written on the fan belt’s packaging
and thought that Kuya Nards had given me a wrong part.). In the meantime, I’ve
been learning things about the Beetle – reading up its
wiki page and trolling
the
VWCP forums, among other things.
One lazy
Sunday evening, we were channel surfing and stopped abruptly at Discovery Turbo
when we caught sight of a Beetle project (UY! BEETLE, BEETLE! BALIK, BALIK!).
Upon further investigation, we learned that we’d caught the 4th
episode of a 5 part restoration series called Beetle Crisis. Check it out:
Winner
Quote of the Day (and I think it’s something that fellow VW addicts would agree
with): Normal. I wouldn’t call this obsession normal.
I’ll
follow the series (as you can see, YouTube has it too) and write a review/what I learned today report once I’ve
caught all five episodes. Stay tuned.
