Got some work done tonight

We did some work on the squarback tonight, and so far it's actually looking better than expected. It's good to finally getting started, and now I have a hope of getting the car on the road next summer :)

What have I done?

Oh my... looked at the old photos from when I bought Spot, and realized that I bought it 5 years ago, in the begining of October. I don't like this, not at all :( I'll just have to find some comfort in the fact that it's getting a good home.

Good luck Spot!

Spot is going to a new home

Both a good and a sad day... we decided that Spot had to go, so all fundings and time could be used on the Squarback. So the sad part is that I had to let it go, and the good is that I didn't need to send it to a junkyard. It got a new home, and will live on!

A memory from the day I bought Spot. The previous owner is also on the picture (he's also my uncle)

Off to the welder!

Finally we drove the squareback to the welder, and hopefully it's ready before christmas :) Maybe even faster, it all depends on how much time we have to do the work. The verdict so far is that it ain't to much work, and most of the welding is done in places that no one will ever see :)

Squareback ready to go

Finally the squareback is ready to go to the welder. Progress at last :)

2-litre wheels on Spot

Last year I bought some 2-litre replica wheels, that was to be used on the squareback. But since it's still not on the road... and I also want gas burners on it instead, Spot got to use them:

Finally, I installed the custom dial on the taco... but now the taco doesn't work, so I'll have to check it out. Looks ok tough!

The Heinemann is almost ready

We're finished cleaning the tents, and today we tried to get it assembled. It wasn't easy at first, but when we finally understood how it should be... it went pretty smooth. Tomorrow we have to disassemble it, and sand down the wood, and give it a nice layer of laquer.
