The end is near...it's going this weekend so some final lacquering and I'm bolting the bastard back together...

As done as it gets really...new front indicators are on, gives it a happy face! Just need to fit the exhaust and the headlamp covers and finito. Pics don't really do it justice...looks gleaming!

Hey Alex,

Just stopped by and saw that you had a project going. Just from the looks of the last page that VW is really nice. The paint looks great too. Haven't seen one modified like that since the 70's.

Haven't read the entire build sorry if you covered this already but what are you going to use it for and where did you get the idea from?

Terry

Hi Terry

It's a friend's Beetle, it was made like that in South Africa, a company there specialized in the Bug pick up. It was a right mess but the old girl has cleaned up quite nicely. Pretty sure he'll be selling at at the next VW show.

Nice to hear from you again, hope the Zuk on 38's is coming along!

Alex

The last piece of the puzzle arrived today, a new tail pipe. As usual it's all tits up as it's longer than the one I have...got Mr Angry out and cut it down. All fitted now and ready to go. FINALLY.
