My father unfortunately passed away in late 2010 and I inherited his VW. He had only owned it for 8 months <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> and loved every day with it. He called it his "Tiger Bug". However, since already have the fleet of Mustang GTs and the Z71 it has just been sitting there. I considered selling it but its a piece of my father I can see everyday. Well, recently we had enough and decided it was go time. I changed the oil, put in a new battery, added some fuel stabilizer/fresh fuel and after a few tries, it started right up!! I'm going to register it Here's a few pictures:<img src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/oldawgnewtrikz/VW/65CF473D-6FC9-4A24-BA90-3A7EB603A5F1-1654-0000029A3583994D_zpse4a71666.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The plastic engine cover is cracked and the plastic dipstick tube is also cracked.<img src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/oldawgnewtrikz/VW/8BC51390-50E3-4923-9A87-E84D62C50A9F-1654-0000029A3962C4C3_zps8d352b41.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Even though it has been sitting on cement for a few years, it needed a bath VERY badly:<img src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/oldawgnewtrikz/VW/0B919254-A9E6-446E-9754-2389DB2EDD12-1654-0000029A19266989_zps1bcc9e87.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/oldawgnewtrikz/VW/1A3B63DC-0F54-4CF5-B760-FC9316AEB5BD-1654-0000029A1BC41F45_zps190d078b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Still has his old license plate and I refuse to turn it in:<img src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/oldawgnewtrikz/VW/62B36012-CB93-47D0-91E3-83DAF4C9C038-1654-0000029A1669E546_zps1e1ecdfd.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />First drive:<img src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/oldawgnewtrikz/VW/4933AC87-0C98-4FE8-9656-3C357E7C5324-1654-0000029A13671FED_zpsdc9f7f4f.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/oldawgnewtrikz/VW/EEB13B3D-EB44-415F-9527-F74F8EC8E01F-1654-0000029A10DDD36C_zpse0991c08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/oldawgnewtrikz/VW/36A48B18-E676-4A4B-B508-02988E0B9E57-1654-0000029A0D590D99_zpsa06246f7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
