[duncan]

well, i dont want to wet sand it in the rain, because it will just be a mess.

and i have a tarp, you can see it in the corners of the pics

and the shamwow guy got arrested for abuseing his wife

[PurePontiacKid]

not his wife, a hooker... GET IT RIGHT.

[Carly.]

so in other words, you're both right.

[Timay]

ZING

[PurePontiacKid]

I think he had the right to beat her up though, she bit his tongue... that's hella messed up... lol

[duncan]

lol, and an update:

me and my dad are gonna be pulling it up to his shop, wich im working at for 5 dollars an hour, and then im gonna be pulling the front beam out from under it and im gonna be cleaning it, sanding it to the bare mettle and then spray painting it gray

[PurePontiacKid]

gray primer I hope?

[duncan]

yah

[duncan]

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

Do moar work!! you've had it ages! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/gasp.gif)

[duncan]

yeah, i have had it for over a year now. im pretty disappointed that i haven't got much work done to it as i would have liked.

[duncan]

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

[DMC-12]

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.

[Jolteon]

But this way would be more fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)

[Carly.]

Agreed. Much more rewarding, too.

[Cooper]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/eager.gif) MORE PICS!!!!!!!! Love the car. But I like tuners and crap, yet I love euro

[duncan]

im thinking of buying like a beater to drive around while im working on this. and ill just work on it gradually as i get more money. and if i acquire a bus that needs the parts that are good on this ill just combine the two.

and ill have pics as soon as possible

[M.I.V. Design.]

why do you call a thing bus, if i call it a rustbucket

damn, i do love rat, but this, dayum man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

[Carl]

you call it a rustbucket, i call it rust with some car leftovers.

seriously, when you get to metalwork there will be 10 good percent to leave.

[Carly.]

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.
