Project #Super71 - Bag & Tag

Just a quick update on the progress being made on Project #Super71.

We are continuing to work on ripping the Beetle apart when we have time. We seem to be doing a pretty good job taking the car apart and bagging and tagging all the parts. We don't stress about things too much, after all we have done this a few times, and after a while you just start to recognize what everything is and where it should go later. The problem is that if you don't strategically organize the small or odd ball stuff it may get lost in the shuffle. So if you are tearing your own project Volkswagen down make sure you put a little effort into organizing as much as you can. It will help you wen you start putting it all back together.

VW Super Beetle Tear Down 1

We were able to pull off all the major components from the car that would make it easier to remove the body from the pan. We didn't have an engine to start with, so we just had to remove all the trim, fenders, interior, wire harness, transmission, master cylinder, struts, steering components, and anything else we could get a wrench on.

Once everything is completely removed from the Beetle we can start the process of separation. Hopefully most of the bolts that hold the body and pan together come out without too much of a fight. Only time will tell.
