    All Weather floor mats (Kinda shoulda got the weathertech ones..)(*EDIT* I did get the Weathertech ones, so much better .) Tinted windows. Hour meter added to center console.

    Stock. Does the remote start system count as entertainment???

    •  

    Block Heater, Battery warmer blanket, Window washer reservoir mod. (Thanks to whoever posted it!!!)

    •  

    Steel wheels & snow tires are on now, the OEM alloy ones are waiting better weather...

    Here is the one I have. https://www.acklandsgrainger.com/en/...TS/p/BWNAFG37R
    It has a filtered fitting that goes in the intake so if the hose has a failure, the air is still filtered. I reads red @ 25" H2O (0.9 PSI) differential pressure but locks & holds the highest reading so if you drag race the honda today @ WOT, you can read the differential pressure across you filter tomorrow until you reset it for another race or when you change your filter..

    I've put about 100 miles on it & I'm surprised how well it runs along the highway @ 100 / 110 kmh (60 ~70 MPH) on the speedometer. I don't know what it gets for gas mileage yet,but if I get some #'s I'll let you know... Right now it's just a toy

    Great photos, klroger. Economical cars from one generation to another. I like the paint, that looks like an original Beetle colour.

    It is the original color, "Bahama Blue" . The Bug is a 1966 & I have owned it for 30 years. Just got my life in a place that I could do it justice... & I think it deserved it

    Looks like an awesome restoration!

    I love the simplicity of the dash and the large steering wheel!

    It's a cool toy! I don't blame you for being proud of it!

    I hope you share more about it in the future!

    I got the Pumpkin Krown undercoated again in preparation for another winter in the Ontario salt Roads It really looks good underneath so far... Then I put her to work, She has to pay for the undercoat somehow...

    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything

    I did the same thing to my Mirage in July. Krown says the product seeps better in the summer, so more areas are protected for the winter.

    I am getting a bit of rust inside the wheel arches, even though I've gone to krown every year. Overall saves the car. Saves the doors and saves the underside for sure. Under the hood you can tell my car has been oiled.

    You mean they spray the engine compartment too? Like the entire engine gets coated?

    Where exactly is the Krown applied? My apologies if you’ve covered this already, just point to the post where you mentioned it.
