Windows back into the car

Last night we installed the last of the windows into the car. Sadly we broke some of the rubber seals, but they'll do the trick for now. Today I'll have a go at the electrics... lights, wipers etg.

Run for the finishing line

Putting the car together again is what it's all about... with luck it's ready for VW Internationals this weekend. But to achieve that goal, it'll have to pass a EU periodic test to get the license plates back on.

The paintjob is finished!

Late last night I layed the final layer of topcoat on the squareback. Finally :) Monday I got some running in the primer, so we had to rub that out before the final stage.









As this was my first time as a painter, it wasn't realy a surprise that things like this happened. Luckily, I had learned before the topcoat... so there I got just one little running on a door (how I did manage that, I don't understand). But that is something we can take care of later.









And the painter himself:

Today: filler

The first layer of primer revealed some spots that needed more work. So I sprayed some filler today. After sanding the body should be ready for the final layers.







Here's some pics of Vemund's earlybay... with "new" rear bumper and camping interior:

First shot of primer

Just finished to shoot the first layer of primer. It was also my first time using a spraygun, so I'm excited to see the result tomorrow. There were to much fumes and primer in the air, and the primer hadn't dried when I left, so I couldn't see the result tonight.

Not today...

I had hopes of spraying a layer of primer today... but I had to do put some more filler on the body (and sand most of it off again). Also ended up removing some "rustremover paint"... because it was something wrong with it, so it wouldn't stick to the metall. Tomorrow I'll try to spray the first layer.

Some parts arrived today

Today Cip1 delivered the parts! Tonight I'll have to do some metall work on the wings. Wednesday is booked for the first layer of primer.

Prepearing for the paintjob, part two

Yeasterday we prepared the garage for the upcoming paintjob. The body of the car is pretty much ready to go, with just some work left on the wings. The paintbooth we made ain't professional... but it should do the trick.

Prepearing for the paintjob

Bought paint and filler/primer yesterday, and removed windows today. Should be able to spray the first layer in a couple of days. Also ordered some rubber, wing beading and clips for interior panels.
