Always great getting caught up on your builds and adventures! Thanks!

Did some much needed cleanup. Scary how easily and quickly junk accumulates in a small garage!

My garage has been feeling a bit neglected and since the remodel started has become a way station for supporting projects and storage. With a good chunk of the remodel done and the Mrs and I taking a break from that I am free to get back to working on the 2002. This weekend I'm trying to finish...

@ConCretin I've just finished reading this entire thread today....thank you for sharing your journey. The ups and the downs! Amazing. There is so much information in here that I'll be referencing again and again. One question I have is from an earlier post way back in '12 about your dock...

Looking great. Living in your working space is interesting. Constantly shuffling stuff is the best!

Congrats on the new and amazing house! Can't wait to see what you do with the place. The 2002 fits so nicely! Also, the Wagoneer is the goods....old family friend had one that we took to the lake. Good memories.

Seems that turned out fine. Enjoyed following along with your build. Did you end up running power from the house or a new service? When I did mine it was easier and cheaper to just have a new meter/service installed.

nicely done! Love the beetle. Wish I still had my '67

Thanks again all.... for the kind words about my Father. @nicholam77 We live in a pretty small city and my best guess is no one wanted to pay the shipping. The shops we visit regularly are Metro Eclectic and Boulevard Mercantile. Metro deals mainly with vintage Mid Century and Danish...

Thank you all. @fouckhest that poor 2002....The rear subframe is all put together minus the brake lines so it just needs to be installed. The differential rebuild took me longer than I thought it would. But progress is being made honest! @coldh2o Definitely vintage. Jo has a great eye for mid...

It's been a little while. I hope everyone's doing well. Where to start? At the end(ish) I suppose is as good a place as any. What started as a simple remodeling project soon turned into a saga of endurance, patience, and a dash of WTF. This was no joke. Armed with Pinterest boards, paint...

A friend gifted me a 571 yesterday. It's in pretty good shape but needs some TLC. Could use new jaws though. DIY I'm guessing is the answer, but does anyone make/sell them? Thanks!

So, what is the question? You've already added the circuit breaker and ran wire for the thermostat. Is the question what box should you use for the thermostat? I just finished a Quiet Warmth heating system in my remodel and it sounds similar to your situation. Previous heating was baseboards...

LOL

Turned out well. Ride height looks fine to me. (y)

Roof rack turned out great! Love the 2002.

Amazing thread, build & garage! Just finished reading the whole thing....best thread ever for sure. One question....how did the cat door turn out? Is it getting used?

For electronics as in a smart dimmer...wifi, zigbee etc you do need the neutral and ground. That's what I'd installed this past weekend in my stair well. 3 smart dimmers and 6 regular 3 ways. Fun following the flow of electricity as you're switching them from traveler to traveler. But OP, if...

Damn, that's a great looking house and garage! Looking forward to more! Interested in if you do something else with those garage doors. Cool idea, but yeah I'd do something different too.

GTI is looking great! And totally agree, cordless leaf blowers work great for cleaning out the garage!
