Away for the weekend... spotted vw's

We went away for the weekend, and spotted som VW's... didn't get a picture of all of them, but hey... something is better than nothing. Have also heard rumors of an abandoned t2, fingers are crossed :)









Not exactly a vw... but part of one.





























Some love, time, money... and lots of steel!

Look at me!

We did it! After a pretty long afternoon, we finished assembley of beam and brakes. Got no time to take pictures, but the result is what it's all about :) Since Spot sits on 5,5" Sprintstars with 185 tyres he got too low... Anyone got 4,5" Sprintstars?

Frontbeam disassembling

Yesterday we started the work to put the new adjustable-beam and disc brakes on "Spot". We didn't do much tough... but it's a start. There weren't any hidden surprises either, so we might just get the car togheter today (or tonight...).

Transformers

Found some cool info on Wikipedia about Bumblebee, the "not so beetle looking toy". Why it's cool... well I remembered that I have a old transformers toy, a golden bug... and in the Wikipedia article it's called Goldbug (form 1987)... :) (maybe I'm a geek?)

"Goldbug" should be easy to spot here? Together with som of my childhood vw's.

Left door is painted and back where it belongs...

A strong wind had blown the left door out of my hands some while ago, leaving a ugly dent in the door. Originaly the plan was to swap doors, so we painted the spare one last weekend togheter with the rest of the car. But after a closer inspection we concluded that it was no problem to fix the dented door... so this weekend we took it off and gave it a fresh coat of paint. The result was not as good as the rest of the car tough... so we'll probably swap doors next year.
