Restoration Wednesday – Suppose I Should Read the Directions First

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 5

The thing is… I always read the directions. I’ll buy a toaster and still flip through the instructions to make sure I don’t miss something. That’s why my adventures-in-babysitting fuel gauge problems were all the more frustrating. Over the weekend, … Continued

Restoration Wednesday, Trailer Wiring – Keep it Simple Stupid

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 4

Remember a few weeks ago I set out to install the trailer hitch on our VW? Well I also installed the wiring kit for it. I never tested anything because I figured if something was wrong, I’d figure it out … Continued

Restoration Wednesday, Why Did We Get Away From Trailers?

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 4

Four or five days ago I tasked myself with installing a trailer hitch on my wife’s VW All-Trac. It has become the family hauler since I swapped our 2010 Acura MDX with 165,000 miles for a Toyota Tacoma. What, you … Continued

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 2

But I didn’t even get a t-shirt. Got this bill for blowing a toll booth though, $12.20 due next week. Funny thing, I don’t own a truck with that plate. Upon further investigation however, I do own a 1972 914 … Continued

Restoration Wednesday, Two for the Price of Two

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 3

  Facebook Marketplace is a time suck. But the problem is, it doesn’t suck, at least in regards to finding projects. Like take a few months ago. I saw a Ruttman go kart frame that had some pieces I wanted. … Continued
