hi, it won't be a totally stock car once its finished (lowered!), but it will have 2 or 3 genuine vw accessories on it! (pop outs, mudflaps, parcel shelfs) so i won't be posting up any main pics of the car, as this is a stock website heres some pics of areas that have been done so far, and are often ignored on 'restored' vw's! as i couldn't find the correct style bumper mounts, the usual repro ones had to be used instead... :twisted: (don't worry, the original mounts weren't on the car when i bought it either!) the car is having a few bits of welding done, and then an external respray in ruby red! as it had a bad respray done on the outside back in the 80's good original lower 1/4's all round! (the rear 1/4's even have the original rubber bungs in them!) [img]https://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c379/beetletom/Picture062.jpg[/img] the worst bits are the rear body mounts and bumper mounts [img]https://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c379/beetletom/Picture063.jpg[/img] here is the almost finished inner arch, which is now finished... all the repaired areas have been done extremely well, nice flush panel joins [img]https://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c379/beetletom/Picture083.jpg[/img] [img]https://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c379/beetletom/Picture084.jpg[/img] the heater channel end plate had just been badly tacked over the top of the old one!!! and whats better is that it only had 2 holes about a cm long near the outside edge, so those have been welded up! it has also had a repair to the running board mounting strip, and the other side has been all welded up too will get pics of this, this weekend...

[quote=SixtyFive]thanks!! will go for a set of genuine or BBT sprintstars next year.[/quote] That´ll look good. Maybe its because I´m used to looking at crossplys but your tyres look tiny! Nice looking car though.
