Title: Learning by doing on my removable rear apron Post by: Zündfunke on December 08, 2010, 23:17:57 pm Today I got my rear apron ready for paint. The header hit the apron that´s why I needed to do something.
It seems to be nothing special but it was a tough nut to crack for me as I´m not very familiar with the shaping of sheet. ;D I'm very happy with the result. That´s why I´d like to share the pics. That definitely was learning by doing...

X2Now that's am updated dual QP set-up! (kind of) I bet that muffler flows very well! Nice work on the apron as well! That exaust flows best for street engines. It makes the most overall power :) I use those since 1983 Udo Title: Re: Learning by doing on my removable rear apron Post by: Zündfunke on December 09, 2010, 21:38:21 pm Thanks for your input Udo!
...and it needs to be said that it has quite a "roary sound". ;D Can´t wait to drive this next season! Title: Re: Learning by doing on my removable rear apron Post by: Udo on December 10, 2010, 18:16:48 pm If you put a rear bumper on the car it looks nice. this is like german old school . not only the americans had old school...

Title: Re: Learning by doing on my removable rear apron Post by: vwcab on December 21, 2010, 23:45:01 pm Yep,lookin' good.I like it too.
Can you post a pic of the whole car? ;) Title: Re: Learning by doing on my removable rear apron Post by: rebel on December 22, 2010, 09:33:59 am Cool topic :) How did you do the center 'hole' without welding? Just a hammer and hours of work?
Title: Re: Learning by doing on my removable rear apron Post by: Zündfunke on December 22, 2010, 20:00:46 pm @ Nico: As said above, this exhaust is a selfmade by Udo Becker. I found a pic where you can see how it looks like when it´s not mounted.
[attachment=1] @ vwcab: Thanks for your interest! This picture is without engine, bumpers,... so the look is a bit "ass up" :) [attachment=2] @ rebel: After I cut out the section that I wanted I used a caliper to bend the metal the direction I wanted it (just a little bit). The rest is hammering...hoping...hammeing...hoping... :D Title: Re: Learning by doing on my removable rear apron Post by: Nico86 on December 22, 2010, 20:05:47 pm @ Nico: As said above, this exhaust is a selfmade by Udo Becker.

Hearing it in the shop I´m a bit afraid in consideration of my friend "TÜV" (technical service in germany).

Title: Re: Learning by doing on my removable rear apron Post by: vwcab on December 22, 2010, 23:55:57 pm Thx for that pic. ;) (nice garage btw)
Matthias,what is the enginesize and the year of the bug? Title: Re: Learning by doing on my removable rear apron Post by: Zündfunke on December 23, 2010, 00:48:15 am Thx for that pic. ;) (nice garage btw) Matthias,what is the enginesize and the year of the bug? Engine is a 1920ccm. Car is a 72 Standard with some ... I call it "Bastard-modifications" like the wrong rear decklid that came with the car when I found it. I don´t change it for now as I´m more into getting it going than having an all original body. Maybe I´ll change it back to 72 later...maybe! |
