Blackhat SEO – Esrun

Well I finally managed to find a beetle that I thought was worth buying after looking around at quite a few.

I didn’t want one that was completely rusted through but at the same time I didn’t want one in perfect condition because it limits the amount of work you can do yourself.

It was a bit of a pain picking up the beetle, I had to travel to Bromley by train which was a nightmare! I got my first train at 6:30am and didn’t arrived until about 12!! After spending all that time on different trains I decided I was going to buy the car regardless of the condition anyway because I refused to get on another train.

She was born in 1971 and runs a single port 1300cc engine. She needs welding on one of the heater channels (damn!), passenger door and some plates under the front.

Get this though.. I stopped off at a petrol station on the way home and someone reversed into her and smashed one of the back light units..DAMN! Luckily it was just the light cover which is about £10-£15 and the guy gave me a £50 note so I guess I did well out of that.

I bought a MIG welder with the intention of welding her up myself so all I need to do now is learn how to weld This easter weekend I intend to replace the front beam with an adjustable one to lower her. I also need to lower the back but I’m not exactly sure how this is done yet.

Once she has been lowered I want to tcut her and clean the wheels up so that she’s nice and shiny I also want to remove a sticker from the rear bumper and some stickers from the windows. Hopefully I can get all this done between easter Friday and Monday.

Once this work is done I want to look at welding her up but I think this could take awhile because I need to learn how to actually weld first.
