Looks good mate and filla is my weak spot to cant stand doing it but needs must

nomates has been practising his filler work..........he is trying to learn what the term a 'light skim' means!

He needs to get quantities straight in his head. Like when he says I am going to have A beer!!

Gotta change the rear panel on mine, so it'll be removable when i get round to it...


Busses are so much better removable rear panel as standard.. I hate working on beetles.

You didn't get it off matt did you?

Ok ...to clear things up...howard (the red bug)...the shell has indeed been scrapped .....the floorpan was restored ...no one wanted to buy it ....so I'm using it ...so 'howard' still exists as a floor pan , owners documents ,and all the doors ,bonnet ,ect ......the deck lid still lives on as I sold it to carl and he fitted to 'duie' the evil herbie bug ....

the 65 'grey' bug had a slightly better body in as much as the firewall wasn't rotten ....so the new project is the pan of howard and the body of the grey bug

still don't get it

Ahh clear as mud

so your restoring a very confused beetle then?

well......it matches the owner

You said it dude..
