So it has been a while since i last posted. In fact 6 months have passed some how. Along with finishing the garden and garages i have been getting on with some beetle stuff.
I tested a wing back on to make sure all was ok before it goes off to the paint shop.
Been doing a bit of stripping down and cleaning up of parts over winter.
Christmas saw me get a unique gift, a box of my car parts powder coated. Dark grey for the engine tinware and black for some of the standard chassis parts etc.
Finally 2016 saw my car go off to paint shop. Custom built frame to take it on and so they can move it around in the paint shop.
So things are getting moving now, I think i have made my final decision on the colour!
So the garden, garages, workshop are all finished so hopefully time to crack on with the beetle again, need to start thinking about the engine and interior.
So Adam at the paint shop has been working on sanding and filling, there isn't anything major needed for filling but it is amazing to see when sanding starts all the little dinks that show up. Not really surprised after over 40 years.
