It’s been one of those days!
I needed to replace the horn wire and get that horn operational again, blue skies, not too warm, pulled it out of storage, tire off and a few minutes later, I heard thunder, I look up and all of a sudden dark clouds followed by a down pour of rain.
Took a break while the car got a free power wash, grabbed some dinner, the rain held up after a while and got that horn wire replaced and fully operating again.
Yes! I’m soaking wet and laughed my butt off.
Wiper arm malfunction
The pin in the wiper arm came out, might be able to fix it but replaced the wiper arm with a working one for now.

Then vs now
a side by side comparison of what the engine looked like when I purchased the 62 bug and what it currently looks like.
distributor cap clip replaced
Broken distributor cap clip replaced, I have an extra one now, you never know when you might need it.
electronic ignition replaced, bug fired up! Broke something else!
Electronic ignition module replaced since I hooked it up backwards last week, lol
Finally got to start it with the new carb on! Fired right up! Just need to let it warm and tune it.
Also broke a distributor cap clip!
The original style inlet is often loose, can come out and start a engine fire. The rebuilt German carburetor on this upgrade has the screwed in barbed style fiting, see below and images.
“Screwed in barbed fittings,
Carburetor is tapped for the threads and the barbed fitting is screwed in for security. This replaces the push fit fitting that sometimes become loose.”
