I installed the chrome body trim (actually stainless from Wolfsburg West) today, as well as the VW emblem on the hood.  It’s looking great!  Here are a few pictures of the car with the trim installed.

It’s comin’ along, slowly but surely…

The day has come to install the new engine in the Beetle.  Wow, it’s nice to finally be installing it.  My Dad came down for the weekend (he lives in Northern Michigan) to help put the engine in. You may recall that the engine was built by Willie Page last fall and picked up from him in November. For more details regarding the engine build and Willie’s services, see my blog post here: Engine Picked Up From Builder (Nov 20, 2011).

Here’s Willie’s contact information, if you’re interested in contacting him:

Here’s a video of the actual install at 4X speed…

Can’t wait to get it on the road!
