Okay so you guys got a bit of a run down in my last intro message. So here goes the more complete version. I will try to coles note it. May 2006 I get rearended, sustaining rear end damage. My mom and my buddies convince me now is the time to go full fledged and go pan off and build my dream bug. My ambitious body man sets off on the mission to outdo what those big resto shops do for big coin for a more normal budget.
May 2006-December 2009 I get distracted with daily drivers, autocross, track days, BMW's and school, life relationships and stuff. Over the spring My bug is finally into paint shocking me... On valentines day of all days and I make a B-Line to go visit it not very impressive to my VERY new at the time girlfriend. While I should of been getting my pan together all this time I blew the money on body work and on modifying and painting the pan. So over the next few months I scrimp in save and in a total lack of time pay for somebody to put it together. So heres some pics... http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/22354_437474465073_738905073_10952256_1055749_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/22354_437474475073_738905073_10952257_8060746_n.jpg Pan Specs. 4 wheel disc brakes, Prosteet gearbox with stock gearing. HD VW trans mounts, hurst shifter, Cruiser pedal, lotsa cad plating and black paint, and custom made hardlines, etc etc...... So some photos of the body work that took 4 times too long! To start some before shots before the crunch. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v4145/176/9/738905073/n738905073_6877782_3743689.jpg http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v4145/176/9/738905073/n738905073_6877783_8269108.jpg and finally up on the spit.. http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-ash1/v253/176/9/738905073/n738905073_3283865_2173.jpg So thats it for the first installment.
