Whew! What a day! We went to the car show and got so inspired that we came home and started working on the Beetle...We got the tires off all the rims except one. One of the tires was FULL OF WATER!! That water has got to have been in there since we pulled the car out of the field! It was rusty, but not terrible. Some sanding and some encapsulator should fix it right up.

The decision was made to purchase new tires and one new floor pan for now. Steve thinks the passenger side pan is ok for the time being. The driver's side pan was rusted away and was removed a while back...in April, I believe.

So that will get our car in a position to be sat in and at lease rolled around! Heh heh!

The current task then is to get the three rims that are not prepared all ready to go and get tires on them. That's going to be my job while Steve works on replacing the pan.

I'm exhausted...I was absolutely filthy a bit ago! I'll post pictures in my blog tomorrow if I can sneak it in.

(I took a bar stool out and put it in the car where the driver's side floor pan is missing...Steve took a picture of me *sitting* in my Bug!)
