Nice work Wiebrand - looking good!

Cool
 

The stock boxes are pretty bullet proof anyway,I hear people breakin CVs more than blowing up boxes,I think you are gonna have one very solid bug when you are finished the G box mount is a work of art,as is the rest of the car.

Thanks guys.

Today assambled the pedals.

Also mounted the springplates. Now have to think of something so I can lift them up to the fixing point. Is this position any good for aan low bug??

Also mounted the two outer bearings in the IRS-arms and started with building up the brakes.

Damn that's nice :eek:

If it's low you wont need any thing to push it up ;)

Set it, finish the car and then do it again.. it's almost impossible to get it correct the first time around ;)

Hahahaha NO NO Jonas;)

Today pressed the bearings in the IRS-arms, mounted the springplates and build-up an little of the front spindles.

I really like what you are doing with this car so far , and I like how you have gone with an orange colour as compared to the black almost everyone goes for . Keep up the good work, and keep posting more pics!

Wow Wiebrand!!!
As always your work is TOP NOTCH!!!:agree:
You could eat off of that thing! If that were mine I'd have to put floor mats on the outside and make people wipe their feet before they get in!:laugh:
You never disappoint! Keep us updated!

Very good point. I totally agree. It is beautiful.

WOW that's all I can say and ccain529 about the floormats great Idea

Hahahaha thanks for the positive reactions guys!!!!

BTW it's not orange, but bright RED (but it's so bright, that the camera can't photograph it :rolleyes: ). hahahaa

So after an "vacation" (worked 40-45 hours a week) and after some time spend in France I got going on the car again monday and yesterday.
