Half a day! That is pretty good work. It is amazing how much time filming even a small video can soak up.

It was junk I got from Ebay. I got my ZG flares from Otomoto, and they were good. I should have got the wing from them too.

This week I get to see how my wing came out, and it was not as great as I hoped.

Wow. That looks like quite a project getting that engine out, stripped and back in again. Nice work.

Fantastic work. It is really starting to come together. Although with the AMG in the background looking light in the front, are you thinking of a different V8 swap?

I know!! I have definitely done far better than I deserve in the wife department.

Ooh, no you have me intrigued? I did have a look at the C pillar (my brother has one with a huge hole there) and it feels pretty solid and doesn't look like it has been bogged. I will have to have a further look in the back to see what is going on in there. Yes. Don't I always.... oh wait.

I am glutton for punishment, and I have done it again. I have just picked up ANOTHER project car!! I have decided to build some short term projects alongside my long term ones. These will be slightly more simple, rolling resto's. Tidy them up, and drive them for a while and them move them on and experience something else. So that brings me to this project. I have just bought myself a 1971 Super Bug. I have very little experience with Beetles, but I am keen to learn (and it is aircooled of course ). It should be fun, and I am looking forward to watching it all come together to match the picture in my head.

That is a beautifully shot video. Looks fantastic. I have a lot to learn when it comes to artistic filming that is for sure.

So true. Still waiting for my bonus Congrats on the car. From the looks of it, I would be very happy with that for $40k.

I used his panels on my car as well, and like @neill said, they still require some work, but overall they are better than most. My front bar was way off though, and took a bit of work to sort out.

This week I planned on painting the epoxy on the inside of all the panels, but I ended up getting side tracked by more panel beating and trying to fit a really dodgy wing.

I don't have VR, but I have a Sim Rig with Project Cars 2. It will be interesting seeing some of these in the game.

Yeah, who would take that long to build an engine!! They originally planned on not touching the bottom end, just rebuilding the top end and turboing it. That didn't sound like a great plan with the ancient bottom end. Will be interesting to see how they go tuning it.

This week's adventure was finishing up the booth lighting. I then moved on to rust treating the whole car and painting the epoxy primer.
