'The Masochist'

Well it has been a long winter...i have been at uni studying and steve working all hours of the day to keep his head above water so the masochist has had to take a bit of a back seat.

How ever in the last couple of weeks steve has got the new fuel tanks made, Guinness barrel, and started patching the inside up.

On Sunday we had another session on the car and welded up the fuel flap and replaced the offside window corner using a section from the donor car and steve welded up the inside of the roof.

But i am back now in plym for my last exam so the car is on the back plate again till i am back...but at least some work has been done

i reckon we need some more pics to keep us going
The Guiness barrel sounds cool... proper rod!

Shopping List.....

5 lts of black celly primmer
5lts of thinners
steel box section
cannon exhuarst (j tubes)
gatters
grinding discs
lexcan

And if steve can't find them more door bolts

WHY has this thread been brought back up....

I so want to ROD my bug and this thread isn't doing me any favours...


Really can't wait to see this bad boy done

sorry rich, had to be done....

It's going to look like a pile of sh$t dude...trust

Well well well......it been a long time but it's getting the attention she needed...

So any ways the roof is almost done....just getting all the shape right on the roof, and all the people that helped with daves (matt's) chop this really takes the time. But the roof has been given a lick of paint, the bonnet and the engine lid.

The front nose cone was gone so this has been chopped out at replaced and all the welding i hope ( i b**dy hope so) tomorrow.

Photo's have been taken and i really do think this is the best roof chop on ANY beetle i have ever seen! but i am biased haha

pic's dude .....you know the score

Bloody hell you can't drop a quote like ""i really do think this is the best roof chop on ANY beetle i have ever seen! "" And not put up pics come on buddy...

I dont need to say it but im going to PICS

All i good time!!

The last 6 months

Filling was started and dumpy fitting of the bonnet and engine lid









The about 6 months past before things started being done again :unsure:

i had finished uni and steve had more time to

All the inside was welded and painted









First up we had to sort the nose cone out, as when we first fitted the extender we noticed it was screwed!





So ordered a new one and sorted out all the welding on the front end....which left us with this....

All the filling had been finished so a dust over with paint was in order to seal the metal from rusting. 9lt's of filler later



missing fuel flap!!!??







This is being built on my drive at the moment as i have lot my garage at home
:rolleyes:

Looking good there mate cannot wait to see it finished

Does look hard as

Thanks guys, makes it all worth while

Where did you get your beam pushers? know theres a few peeps stateside selling them bt hey are pretty expensive!

its the bay area rods kit same as on my rod dude. they are based in poole (might have moved recently thought?).

There are a couple of people selling them but bay area rods do the complete kits.
