No support when welding the channels in. Normally you need 95 cm on the underside of the doors, this one had 94 cm.

Vaughn's car made quite an impression on many of us. Wasn't exceptionally pretty but by early 80's it was nasty fast for a street car.

There's a picture on this thread. http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,7683.0.html

Ooooeeh, Crusty !

But, then again, aren't it the challenges that you tackle succesfully that give you satisfaction? And you never know where a well executed, fast car will get you in? New friends, prizes, exclusive meetings ... You never know. One thing is for sure ...

At least in trouble  Grin

The satisfaction when you drive a car you restored Smiley That "fast" part will have to wait some more years tho, the car needs to be "done" first cause this will be my only car Wink
And when you're 17 years old, you don't really have enough money to make it fast too Wink

Well, I haven't updated this topic for 2 months, but I have been working on the car. Tomorrow I'll be painting some bits for the pan. The body is welded and will be dropped of at my house so I can do the bodywork. Pics are for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow  Wink

Wow, such a long time ago since I updated this. I have been working on the bug tho, but not as much as wanted.
So here is a quick resume of what has been done since.
The pan is completely painted, front axle mounted, gearbox mounted, brakes hooked up (not yet filled with fluid).


Engine is also completely done, but hasn't run yet. It was a 1300cc AB, now it's a 1600, stock specs.



The body has been painted black on the underside and inside where it Will be covered with upholstery.




The body has been put on the pan too, since the underside of the body and the pan already had paint.
Some additional welding has been done too. Trimholes, dashboard, antennahole and some other little things.

So this is where I'm at right now, doing the bodywork. I hope to have it finished in 2 or 3 weeks, so the car can go to the painter and I can start checking the wiring and fix the interior.

Well it has been far too long since I updated this topic.

I haven't worked on this thing for a while, I am still doing bodywork.
I have painted most of the worked on areas with spray can primer to prevent them from rusting.

I do have a slight problem with the underside of the dash. I don't know what the function is for every hole I have there. I want to weld every hole I don't need, I want it to be clean.
Anybody know which ones I need and which I don't?

Hey, you're doing a great job and I admire your tenacity and dedication to your project! It reminds me of the first car I did many years ago. I bought it from my uncle and it was very rusty. I learned a ton by working on that car! If you continue with how you're doing things it will come out great, keep it up! This makes me want to take on anther project. Cheesy
