Event Horizon

 e·vent ho·ri·zon

/əˈvent,ēˈvent həˈrīzən/
noun
    • a point of no return.


This is where I am with the bug.  The point where there is more metal than rust.  It has been a good summer in basicly covid self-imposed lockdown to get alot done!




All the rot is now cut out, the firewall didn't fit worth a damn as it looks like klokkerholm took a shortcut and welded a standard beetle 2nd skin to a superbeetle firewall sheet.

Just a bit of needlegunning and wirewheeling on the pan and we should be able to get the pan back in PERMANENTLY!






And to my surprise, Canadian Tire actually had Chevy Bright Aqua colour match!  It's a 25 year old colour! Was so stoked to find it!




No movement on the GLI front, but I hope to have the beetle back on at least it's back tires so I can finish the front steering and welding in the spring and jump back on the GLI next year.  Looking to move in 2025ish so she has to be done by then!  That's it for now!
