    Looks pretty solid on face value. I may join the beetle crew once the bus is done. Addicted now.

  5. If it is 3rd on the priority list and you have sorted the other 2 since Sat , which I assume you have as you have started the beetle , I think you should have it finished by the end of the month !!!

    Not quite, it's in prime spot in the workshop so I've been forced to do a bit so I can get it moved into another corner out of the way!

    Well, been considering what to do with this Beetle. Thought about breaking it but as I was forced to do a massive workshop tidy up today due to the roof gaps letting snow in I lifted the body off and had a good inspection of where it’s at.

    I can roll the chassis in and out now to work on

    It’s had quite a bit of work at some point, not by me, this is the first time I’ve had the chassis out to have a look.

    The body still needs some welding but not much

    Too good to break I think, looking forward to cracking on with it now.

  10. Pretty solid for a 45 year old bug. That floorpan looks like it only need a wee tickle with a welder around the battery tray and opposite side. :thumbsup:
