Cheers guys. The Resto bits are nearly done so it's almost time to start on the exciting stuff, so posts should get more interesting, hopefully pretty quickly!

Once the channels are in, I need to stick in the repair sections at the front, then we're going to channel the body down. Need to repair the a posts, then going to make a couple of mounts to raise the gearbox up to get rid of the neggy camber.

Some tool on e38 has decided he wants to buy a beetle purely on the basis of how much camber he can get. I am going to do everything I can to not have it. TO BLOW THEIR PUNY MINDS!

Then roofchop it, weld in a curved section at the back, decide on an engine, make some seat runners, decide on some seats, finish the dash, prep it, paint it. Figure out the wheel set up etc etc etc lol.

Good progress as always.  :cool:

I'm excited about the roof chopping, I have never followed a thread  of one being done.  Might do the MK1, that must be a rare sight!  :grin:
