Cool thanks for the heads up! 

thanks Matty
the right one is still the original one, just had to weld a small area on the headlight bucket
The left one is a NOS VW part, Scarab in Belgium sells them for a good price

cheers Steve

Nice work dude, got a way to go there though …I have a question, where did you find your front wings if you don’t mind me asking?

The old car flipped over once more, let's see some more odometers!

thanks 
I started to work on the chassis. I was lucky to score a 1302 chassis for very little money and started the IRS conversion.
On Mexican beetles the chassis is prepared for IRS mounts, the holes are closed with a cover.

Covers removed

Next step is to remove the remaining material form the IRS mounts...

Nice spokes that has a few very light scuffs that will polish out and nice hornbutton has a few small scuffs in the plastic bezel that can be polished out aswell. The button itself is nice also. The wood is really clean with no nicks or scratches etc.... perfect candidate to modify to fit any bus or early oval or split.  For sale to someone that wants this more than I do. Once i get my oval painted it will not be for sale

Nice updates Steve, works rocking along

So in the last week a big box of goodies arrived from Gene Berg, a pile of parts to to allow the 5speed to be fitted. I know that some people don't like the yellow mounts, but for the moment they're going in. Jay at the end of last week (31st Jan) had the gearbox mocked up. So that should be in this week and that apart from the engine should be the last of the big stuff done. That leaves Daniel and I to complete the wiring, do a test and hope we don't blow all the fuses or burn the car down. Other things include plumbing in the fuel system, buying a passenger seat, then play with some carbon fibre. One silly piece we made was BossHogg Speedshop sticker. we don't make anything you can buy, but we thought it would look good....workshirts and hoodies to follow.
