Driver Window In

got the driver side window installed tonight, what a pain in the A$$

Hood Seals Installed

Installed the front and rear hood seals last night. It was actually easier than I thought it would be. Slowly but surely it is all coming together. The front hood may need adjustment.

Here is the wheel wheel and fender undersides undercoated. I used a rubberized, paintable style. It should do a good job protecting the car. Since the car will be driven daily, (weather permitting) I wanted to prevent chips and rock dents.

The fenders installed, with fender beading. One giant leap forward!

steering column in

Been a slow road with the vw, my hopes of getting her done this year are pretty much out the window, but I will slowly plug away.

I got the steering column installed today, along with the directional switch. I know it is the wrong steering wheel, but I am using it as a place holder, if you will.

Here is the current "back dash" view. A few wires are starting arrive, got the cigarette lighter hooked up, too bad there is no battery. :)

Body bolted on

The chassis and body are offically bolted together. The chassis was coated with 2 coats of Eastwood rust Encapsulator, followed by two coats of Eastwood Chassis Black. The bolts chassis bolts and washers were sandblasted and zinc plated.








I installed the fuel gauge, as well.











The hood latch, windshield washer reservoir, and brake reservoir were installed.

What a good night!

Body Is On!!!

A glorious day yesterday, the body got installed on the chassis. It is all moving forward, slowly, but forward none the less!
