MMTR Mini
mr.mindless:
Beetles are way more complex.
90% ready to send the shell. Need a bit more wiring out of the car and that’s about it.
ECU and cross body harness are in the cowl same as any mk4, but it’s all under the dash behind the windshield. Still a wet location. Bet those two mouse nests were great places. No wiring damage in there. But headlights were poorly rewired sometime.
mr.mindless:
Found out from Ken at the meeting tonight that the guy I bought this Beetle from died in a private plane crash in Michigan last year. Shame, he was a really cool guy. Very much one of us.

mr.mindless:
fuel tank leak. looks good+clean from the outside, but there's some spooge around the low point and tank drain, as though there is a patch in that area that's leaking.
Noted a puddle in the gravel underneath the back end of it. at least it sprung the leak outside on the gravel and not while parked inside.
mr.mindless:
Wiped it off and got more leak. Sump rotten from the inside.
Only right fix is probably to drop tank and cut the bottom of the sump out. Every leak is surrounded By a soft spot. Structural clean paint :(
