Looks good! But I have to say that I have seen easier ways to get rid of yellow paint  |

especially for you Dr. Jeckill Between family live, work and some work on my daily passat, the oval is going forward as well (slowly). Bolted the nose on the body, now i can see better what to do and where to do it. It looks like the right is OK.   On the left I had some fitting problems, probably the welds from the pedalbox where to hot. I cut out the piece that did not fit and welded in a bigger piece instead.   Still needs some welding, grinding and sanding. Paul. |

Today I started making the '58 parafan look like an '56. Here is the difference between the '58 and '56.  Time to cut again.  Cutting, and trying.   The result of a few hours work.  Paul. |

Today I worked on the wipers again. Just to be sure I mounted the mechanism and it fits. (sorry for the crappy phone pic's)   To mount the mechanism I had to weld this bracket as well   Paul. |

Wile the front is removeable, I have good access to drill the cage holes.  Never thought the hole would have this shape.  The cage can not hit the pedalbox, innerwing and fueltank, and has to end in the sparewheel well to be welded to the Porsche frontwheel mounts.   The cage will also run under the dash, this will fit perfect later on.  With this piece of cardboard the hole on the right will be easier.  Paul. |

Took the doors from the attic and dismantled them (they weigh a ton with all the windows etc.). trail fitted the left door, fixated it with the wright gabs and made the first welds   When the right door is fixated and the pillar is tackwelded as well, I will start on the window surrounding. Paul. |

Time to restore the window corners, this is not easy cos this is where the '58 is different from the '56 First I had to cut some more of the '56, and then I started to make my own '58 - '56 puzzle. The before picture.  Cut a piece of '58 in to the wright shape to follow the '56 windowl line.  I had some leftovers from the '56, they came in handy now.  after a lot of testfits, I am a happy man.

If it has to be good, it has to be worse first. So the hole had to be bigger.   I used a piece from the '56, but is was pretty rotten at the vertical edge.  Made a new vertical piece (Real PITA) and welded it in. took me all morning but it's done.  Paul. |

After a testfit of the windshield is was obvious the left corner wasn't wright. So, out with the grinder again. On my way again.  The stuff I ordered at Hooky's wasn't in yet, so the corners are done for now. Just 4 fun, played with the front suspension   Paul. |

Hooky delivered some nice parts To fix the window corners I ordered these repair corners.  Wile I was ordering at Hooky it made sense to order the weber-windows as well.  Paul. |

Yesterday indeed was a good Friday, finally had some time to work on the '56. Windowcorner left is ready.   On the pic it looks rough, but IRL it is pretty smooth. Leftside of the dash is finished as well.  Ready for a thin layer of lead. Then it was time to do the innerwing. It didn't fit to the heaterchanel and it was to short due bad repairs in the past.  Paul. |
