    Bringing one back from the discard pile: White Trashed

     



    This is going to be my STF build of the summer. Everything in, on or around this car will be recycled except the battery.
    I pulled this car out of the blackberry bushes that were trying to claim it as their own. It had been in the same spot for 9 years.




    The PO had done so many wonky things to the car, I will never get it back to a place that it is worth anything, so I am literally building an engine with all used parts, a transmission with all used parts and using used door cards, headliner, carpet and used seat covers.
    Heck, I even took the rubber mallet to the bumpers to get them almost straight.

    Just call me Daddy Nobucks!

    Hey looks good to me... Im sure you have visited the volksrod forum as well? A wealth of air cooled knowledge over there. I really like the pancake engines in the squarebacks. What year is that? Swing axle or IRS?
