Modern fuel goes bad quickly, by design... You could: Drain it Dilute it or get it running and run it out, then add fresh

Did you get home ok?

That's great! Wish I could have made it. Where is zcon 2026?

@Yarb Made a little progress today. I got the reverse lights fixed with the help of Yarb and my little helper was in town too. Yarb sent me a new switch he had. It's longer than the one I ordered Yarb, do you know the part number for that switch?

It's tough to order things from overseas due to the recent tariff changes. Many postal services will not post to the US currently. As solution is being worked on...

It should be 36psi with the car not running! It should drop at idle based on manifold vacuum

I agree with Namerow that there will be extensive welding required. To answer the original question: If the doors seem to fit well with decent gaps, i would weld a tube on the inside of the car down low on the door opening. Remove all the drivetrain and any other dead weight. Then replace the rockers first. Inners and outers as needed. Be sure to use the doors to ckeck fit and door gaps before welding it all up. Then do the floors next. After the rockers are done, your temporary door brace can be removed. If the doors don't fit well, the body will need to be manipulated or jacked up until they do and then weld in your temporary bracing

I love that beetle too. I've got one that I hope looks like that one day...

Yes, silver is a tough color

Was curious because I'm gonna try my hand at that at some point.

Tempter!! I would have to drag it...

I wondered that too but don't really want to be the one to check it out

Very nice! Did you cover them?

So I tinkered with the flasher relays some more. I had a 3 prong one that required a ground. I couldn't get it to work no matter how I wired it at the bench. The two prong works fine with an LED bulb at the bench off the jump box. So I tried it in the car on both the turns and the hazards. With no relay in place I basically have battery voltage coming to the relay. When I plug it up and try to use it the voltage across (? I don't believe this was to ground...) the relay drops to less than 8 volts in both locations. So I am assuming neither the LED's or the electronic flasher will work at the low voltage??? Where to from here? @SteveJ others?

I agree, that seems cheap...
