oh wow, its been awhile since i have posted in this topic. its been a little while. haha, well, lets see, its going to be a long slowly but surely process. hmmmm, i have a few parts for it. i have a middle seat, a rear seat, all but 3 pieces of glass, battery tray, rear corner, back hatch, umm, i cant really think of much anything else off the top of my head right this second. i have some money saved up, and i continue to work at Monkey Nut Vw. I haven't done much more then clean it, move it into the garage, and dissembled it. I took the rear end out, and i have a newly rebuilt transmission for it waiting down at the shop.
i plan to take it down to the shop this summer and work on the floors and the engine compartment. I plan to get all the necessary body work done first. (like floors and engine compartment and stuff like that.) then i want to get it running and driving. then ill drive it around and do some body work to it here and there whenever i have the money. then when all the body work is done and stuff, ill paint it. Palm-Green Sand-Green (L 311 and L 312) then ill collect some accessories and parts and stuff as i come across them. that's my plan, but it might change as i go along. umm, i guess that's all for right now. CNC please!!!!! and if you have any questions or if your curious about anything at all, please ask!! heres some pics before transmission removal (IMG:http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images0/120/l_f887ae958a974aa58fa3d76c7e3d9268.jpg) After transmission removal http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images0...8e8d03bcb00.jpg (IMG:http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/131/l_eb9b40e970144460b1705173c7942abd.jpg) underneeth (IMG:http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/152/l_9a2a644aed3c46fbb801a84166238a05.jpg) (IMG:http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/146/l_09bbe52e53154792a1534d9e612b9c8e.jpg) (IMG:http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/144/l_a4ed8256feb6485a9946395c3a14f2f7.jpg) pics (IMG:http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/117/l_4a914653c1d44ac9aa97fd9017b7a69a.jpg) (IMG:http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/127/l_78d804203a9f43c3ac62f540abde374a.jpg) muddaubers (IMG:http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/131/l_2d0f804b3984419a8af47190adddf84b.jpg) (IMG:http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/150/l_460c8d5bcb6548a29ec75d69a1a728b8.jpg) (IMG:http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/135/l_0d506adb18954950ba7f15422d98d15e.jpg) pinstripe (IMG:http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/144/l_0679119bb02b4d33a73ac94efb052ca6.jpg) (IMG:http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/136/l_2d9b8e0cb31a48beb6680f8979162807.jpg) (IMG:http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/122/l_405f236412234e50af187cd37044de27.jpg) i will post more pics. these are old pics, sorry, there all i have This post has been edited by duncan: May 26 2010, 12:56 AM |

well, i hope to have it at least towed to monkey nut by the end of this summer. it cannot be towed by car but its eather going to use a flatbed (about $80) or we could rent a trailer (about $150-200). im thinking about getting the trailer because we have more than 1 car that needs to be towed and a bunch of parts, and it would probably be cheaper if we get the trailer. it is currently standing outside the garage awaiting to be towed.
i have pics, but they wont upload for some reason. and i FOUND an OG early headlight lens in the TRASH. its in pretty good condition. it has 1 minor chip kind of in the middle. but its definitely usable. pics laturrrrrr |

Duude, don't you think it would be cheaper to buy one that needs less work? This thing needs so much welding and stuff like that, surely it would work out cheaper in the end.

Come on guys. I agree it's a huge challenge, but Duncan's really got his heart into this one. I say if he wants to make it run then he should, if he wants to make it look good then he should, and if he decides to turn it into a rocket ship, then why the f*ck shouldn't he? It's his car and he likes it.
