The '58 Beetle got the following this weekend:
• Upgrade to (front) disc-brakes
• New king pins & bushings
• New link pins, bushings and bearings
• New front wheel bearings
• Brake adjust (rear)
• Oil Change
• Valve adjust, set timing
• 'Cruiser' pedal, which is a normal pedal that covers the roller pedal early beetles have. My '58 is actually supposed to have a cruiser pedal from the factory, but that disappeared at some point in it's life. So now it has an aftermarket aluminum one.
• More sound insulation (hushmat) between engine and passenger compartment (probably won't do anything)
At one point doing the king and link pins I screwed up, and damaged a pin. Ended up mounting the front spindle in the lathe, which was an exciting (and dangerous) affair. Managed to fix it though, without breaking anything in the shop...so that was good.
ATE Blue brake fluid because racecar? :P
How is that for a bizarre brake rotor?!
