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.

First the brakes... then the generator

The brakes are now ok, but a week ago my generator failed. I finally got it changed today, but it wasn't a pleasant job since its 30 degrees outside... and thats not what we're used to in Norway :P The new front seats have been mounted, and they are just awesome! Tomorrow I'll have to start the work with the new front wings, as the car MUST be ready for the VW Internationals show this weekend.

Brake failure, and more...

Lost all brake preassure two weeks ago on Spot, but since it's dual circuit it didn't create any dangerous situation. Found a leak on the breakpipe inside the car, it made a real mess. Changed the pipe, but then I found out that the hydraulic cylinder on the left rear wheel leaked. I also have to change the oil seal and bearings on the rear wheel, so I'll do it while the brake drum is off.

What I should have been doing instead of this, is change front seats and front wings... but that will have to come later (or inbetween).

Picked up our Heinemann camper today

Today I got some help from Einar and Vemund, and we picked up the Heinemann combi-camp I got for free from a neighbour :) It's pretty big actually, so the beetle looks small compared to it. But it should look just right behinf the Squarback! There are some work to do on it, but nothing that can't be done by ourselves.

Custom tacho dial

Just finished the design of my custom tachometer dial (for Spot)... I'm pretty pleased with it, and hope it'll look as good in the car as on my computer :) The tacho is a dirt-cheap one, but it should fit the car now. Just have to figure out what to print it with, and what to print it on.
