Getting a lot done!

 There's been beaucoup movement on both fronts.  Firstly, on the GLI I filled in alot of the hack-n-slash holes in the firewall and raintray.  Take a look at the 'questionable' hydro clutch hinge point.  'Mount Weld'  Ahem... it was just blobbed to the bottom of the raintray to the left of the column.  Should have been a bolted in bracket with a sheer plate and some bushings.  Looks like something Rick Sanchez would clone!  Into the scrap bin with ya!


The engine is back in!  It's been awhile and I forgot is goes in from the bottom! (note paint chips on bumper strut)


The other holes patched, need to reweld in the fuse block mount as it was removed.  A pillars still not done yet. (to get access to raintray)




On the Superbeetle front, lots of progress!  Chassis painted, rack bracket welded in, brakes plumbed and bled, and just waiting on some 1/4" fuel line and front chassis parts to hopefully go back on 4 wheels by October!!  






Found an old progress photo from 1993! (there weren't many)
