Well we picked Stella up sunday morning and I must say she was so much fun to drive. See the for sale thread for pictures of how she looked: https://blitzen.editboard.com/vehicle-sales-f5/stella-for-sale-bug-t4473.htm
This is what she looked like when we got her back:

hehe thought we'd strip her out so we could see what needed doing Very Happy So the pipe should be into the filter on top My first beetle Stella... P1020379
Didn't want to put it on the wrong thing! But is it the wrong pipe?
Thanks for the offer of welding, Matt has borrowed a welder from vw resto and is gonna do it, if he has any problems I'll get him to give you a bell and possibly pop it down to you Smile

Wow, yeah maybe you're right, it did looks quite lumpy, are they nice and bare metalled now? I love bare metalled pans, lol. Get some primer/oxide on quick though as they rust in front of your eyes. Smile

Thought I'd correct as matt was using a grinder with a wire wheel on! I should pay more attention! The floorpans are done and primered for now to protect them. We've found some pretty bad stuff on the inner back arches but have welded one already, will try and take pictures as I'm pretty sure the other side is gonna be just as bad Sad But we're cracking on with it...more pictures soon.
As for me I've been stripping off the seat covers to either make my own or order some Smile Cream interior coming people Smile Oh and I've mixed my own colour using our paint scheme Very Happy think I'll keep it a secret but it's gorg!

Well I tried to get some pics but can't loads them of my phone Sad
But as a update all the welding was finished last week and dropped spindles are fitted. Have 2 sets of wheels to choose from and at moment my faves are spinstars. The wings, bonnet, doors and engine lid have all been primed and painted and some lacquered.
The plan is that all the painting/exterior will be finished by friday then the interior to do within 2 weeks (as we have to wait for our seat covers to be made)
