Got the transmission installed (mostly) Still need to mount up the spring plates to the axles, and yes, I know we need to add some swing axle boots! Also for the sharp eye's out there, we still need to put the sprint plate retainers on.

Hay everybody! Breanna here ( yes I'm Matts daughter and yes the one working on the 56).  Alrighty so today I went with my dad and sisters to Avila Beach to chill with other vw people. We had a pretty good turn out there was about 30 cars all lined up along the baech with people coming from all over the central coast. And with the weather being nice...little windy though... it made for a great day! But i mean hay where could you go wrong with vws, food and the beach? Haha so if you dont belive me heres proof Smile.....

Wow! Where does the time go???

Finally getting back into the swing of things around here, putting the finishing touches on the little motor for the 56. Breanna wants to have her car done in a flat black and lime green colors, which includes the engine. I know, I know, the tin should all be painted in a semi flat black, but for this little motor, I'm not too concerned.

Here's some pics of where we're at (bad camera phone pics!)
