Volks Chronicles: FrankenBeetle

Mo Progress Report:
  1. Kuya Mancio broke two of my new brake linings while attempting to rivet them to the brake shoes.
  2. Got 1L of brake fluid (as I understand it, the lines need to be bled first then topped up. I could be wrong of course).
  3. Got 5 feet of battery cable, because apparently, I own a 1972 Volkswagen FrankenBeetle. According to Kuya Mancio, the previous lines installed were cables that are used for houses.
  4. Since Kuya Mancio broke two, I had to take the remaining linings and brake shoes to have them brake bonded. I've left them to the hands of the Mafat shop which is coincidentally beside Funeraria Filipinas, where Mo used to be parked.
  5. I wasn't to take pictures of Mo this time because they were spray painting another car.
At any rate, I'm clinging to the hope that Mo would be up and running by November. Frankly, the overhaul and repairs have gone over budget and over and beyond the target date but I'm still hoping to be able to drive the car before the Mayan calendar ends.
