I've heard the stories of a sideways split round the roundabouts in bridgy.... in plain view of local plod

Must be someone else dude..
I just don't understand why no one can build anything that'll take some of my driving bmw ford vauxhall vw austin they all just seem to be badly made..

Got a couple hours in on the bug this morning, so flipped the pan round and tidied the underneath then with wire wheel on the grinder i ran it over both sides of the pan just to clean it all up after having it blasted and sat for a couple months....







Then got bored so etch primed it then found some grey primer and hardener so mixed mixed it up and blew it on the underneath of the pan..

Nice and shiny!!!

It's only a bit of primer dude calm down...
Black base coat and lacquer will be ordered tomorrow oh and a bit more primer.. Fingers crossed i'll have it painted on the weekend..

Then strip the spare pan down and paint the drive shaft tubes ect fit the box ect to the freshly painted pan then paint and fit the narrowed beam.

Do I detect a rebirth in your air-cooled fetish Mr. Curtis?

Well theres something to think about............

Ummmm

No not really dude just want the pan finished and rolling ready to sell..
Need the money to strip and repaint the T4 properly with some decent paint and stuff.... Need it sorted cos i'll probably be giving the unit up ASAP..
But may have found away to fund the T4 without selling the bug, if so i'll chuck her in the garage untill i can finish her..

Flipped the pan back round etch primed it then blasted some grey primer on the top..
Just got to sort some black hopefully by the weekend..

The 4" narrowed beam is finshed and in the back of the van and looking sweet cheers dude your a star
A couple crap pics..

very nice

No worries dude.
