Ellenor 1973 1303s Beetle 1600cc

Fairly rusty, that is what we like to see, a tradition being upheld

Don't forget to post up the piccys when the rust is all gone

i wont forget

well sams done some more this weekend but unsure to whether it will be worth it
SO HERE ARE THE PICS


















So what do you think guys

I think its bloody rotted good luck

mmmmmmm i know

some more piccies

I feel for you gemma that shell is rotten abit worse for wear, time to search for a 1303 shell as the floor time its got its new panels on is sorted, chin up girl it will all work out in the end

theres only about 5 or 6 weekends work to get that shell solid go for it guys

It took me 6 weeks non stop and i dont work and it was no where near that bad

Thats what i was thinking...

It is fixable, it just needs a bit of loving and some new metal, thats all

hold on dude couple weeks ago you said thats its not worth doing it

Well it's not tax exempt and it's a 1303 and i'm not in to them, so for me it's not worth doing bud... But yeah it's only metal and and good few hard weekends work should get it done..

well ive cut out some of the floor pan on the n/s





but now ive ran out of cutting disks

Gem that sounds a bargin 1302 tax exempt 1200 engine moted £550

sams done abit more to it


he didnt even use hardly any electric to get that side out









found some good metal on ellenor

whats he been doing all day i would have had the new floors on and welded by now

hes been trying to find the spot welds but there hiding some were

Exscuses a good wire brush and they will soon be seen

hes been out there with a grinder and still no luck you no what hes like

A grinder will just grind them so you cant see them but then if you keep grinding along thay edge you will eventually get through to the lip and the old pan will come of

ill keep going then

so one side is now done yeah and i love it

looking good sam ,you just need to sort out how much your going to charge gem for your time

Well im hoping gem will buy me my rebuild kit for me so i can run me 1641 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I WANT TO BE WAITED ON EVERY TIME I WORK ON IT AS MY BACK IS F**KING KILLING ME
