So here Goes!
After being parked for over 6 years due to circumstances beyond my control I finally found the time to get my 1968 VW Beetle back onto the Road. Six Years of being parked has played havoc with the car as far as the body is concerned. Its been a few weeks since The Bug has been bugged! and work is underway! Wish me Luck!

Lol. Right on bro!
Yaar more pics please and specially that video of the first startup after 6 years. We can then start asking members for help
So this is where it was parked for around 6 years. Mind you it was not neglect, the bug was just a victim of circumstance!
So me and the shagird went to work to pull it out of the mess it was in!
After a lot of effort and some assistance we finally managed to pull it out! By sheer brutal strength! Flat tires n all!

Tires inflated waiting for the tow truck to arrive!
Yes Buddy...right on! Have we met? You also a Beetle owner?
Enroute!
At the workshop engine out!
Here I had a choice. Either to just do the little maintenance which needed to be done and pray the engine would fire up, or to pull it out, have it cleaned and sorted...and still pray that it would start!
The engine waiting to be coaxed back to life. The only positive sign at this point was the pulleys were loose and would rotate the crank through 360degrees showing that the internals had not ceased.
Popcorn is out! more! More!

Attaching a spare gearbox for an attempt to crank the engine.
