Archies Volksrod - []o\_|_/o[]

[archie837]

haven't touched it in a while as a mates rod was going in for sva. Because the commercial sva is ending this month it all got a bit stressed so I stayed away to give them some space. The rod failed on some small bits but they have 6 months for the retest - so full speed beetlings ahead!

I got the drivers door repair post in on sunday so the door can hang good and proper as there wasn't much left of it. Now the door in solid, more of the body attached to the heater channel making it a bit stiffer again (ooer missus)

So! this week will do the other side which isn;t so rusty so should be a quicker job. Once these are done I need to redo a rear quarter panel and can get the front quarter panels in which should be most of the resto work done. Then we can pull it in the workshop and fully weld it and make it solid. Work on raising the gear box to get it back on its wheels and look to channel the body!

the resto stuff has been a bit longhaul but the fun bits are coming quickly!
