Pan Wrks

Despite the non existing blog updates some work has been done over the past few months. There was a few issues to be sorted with the pan, especially the fuel lines. But now since I've got it "all" sorted out got it welded back together and paint prep is on the way, just in time for the new years... I'm waiting eagerly to get the car on its feet again with the new 4'' narrowed front beam. Very interesting to see how the front works since 2'' narrow beam was just not working. I've got one off the shelve beam with urethane bushings since I did not want to make a custom one, for now. Might have to, depending how it all goes. Hopefully get to show you some mock up images early in January...

Painters deligt

Timewise it all went bust, but that's no news when it comes to car building... I think the shell was at the painters for about half a year. Nevertheless, it came back and results are really pleasing. It was, and I said it loud and clear, one of the highlights in vw hobbyists life. There is just something about getting a rough shell back with a smooth shiny finish. Resurrection time!!! A few images below. Hopefully I get to assembly stage soon. Some work still with the pan before the "marriage".
