Whats new ...

Well I had a chance to work on the bug today. The weather was great so I rolled it out of the garage to some color sanding in a few areas that were still a bit rough. I spent most of the afternoon sanding, buffing and polishing. Not perfect but coming along. I also put the rear license plate thingy on. Now I can saw that I'm actually puting things back together.

Mike Cummings stopped by this evening and he helped me put the front fenders and beading on. We also put the driver and passenger door seals in. The doors are going to need a little adusting so they close right with the seals in place. The seals still need some tweaking too.

Mike and I where talking about lower the rear. He told me about a tool that is built for compressing the rear spring so that it can be removed. I'll start looking around for it.

Pre-release pictures of the new paint job

Well the painting is done. Just a but more polishing tonight. I'll be picking it up this coming Saturday morning. I'm super stoked to be getting it back. The quality of the pictures aren't the best, they where taken from my phone camera.



I also have the rear window in being tinted today. I tried doing it myself, but there was just too much curve to the window for my limited skills and tools to get done right. I think that I can do the others myself.

Next is the roof headliner, then I can get the glass put in. Bumpers, lights, running boards, trim, dash, seats, carpet, rims, lower, tune up ... Lots of things to still do before I can drive.

YEAH!!!
