After close to a year without my bug, it's been in the garage. I put in a new pan,front end,disc brakes,tranaxle all seals,new mastercylinder . In other words I rebuilt my car. It is a 67 pan with a chopped 66 body and a
1776cc motor.Well I even repainted it myself too. Today was to be the day. I was so excited ! I was finally going to start her up again. put the battery on the charger yesterday and charged it up. Today, I put in the battery and 3 gallons of gas. Pushed her out onto the drive and got a fire extinguisher ...just in case!
Put in the key,turned it and NOTHING! no click, no whir of the fuel pump, no lights ,nothing! Pulled out the battery and took it around the corner to my local mechanic. They tested it and said it was fine just needed a charge!. I put it back on my charger and left it for an hour or so. Machine says it is at full charge. Still no joy. Crawled under and checked all the connections on the starter, and all fuses. I rewired /hooked everything up just as it was before the pan swap.
I hope you guys might be able to give me some advice.
Thanks! Mike West
