Welcome. The "Bad Luck" picture is depressing but the pan is looking good now. Keep the pix coming.
|
I'm spending to much time detailing as much as i can but i'm skiping pictures to the most interesting.I've used special primer and colour for the pan.
next i've painted everything under the body http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/2716/hpim1996.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/6158/hpim2001a.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/4916/hpim2023.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 i also modify the pedals to look a litle racing.:) http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/8373/hpim2004.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/9504/hpim2010.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/833/hpim2012f.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/645/hpim2017l.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 |
Looking good. Must have been heartbreaking to see your bug like that.
Can't wait to see more pics :-) |
one of the worst times of my life.Althought the insident gave me the oportunity to do all the work i'm doing now.And now the body:
http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/1599/dsc00098tf.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/7492/dsc00110vq.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 I took the body to a friend of a friend who owns a body shop to measure everything and do the job as a profesional knows,but no one can do the work better than yourself.The measurment was right but the welding was :angry: So back to work to do better everything the profesional couldn't.(or didn't want to). And some aerodynamic tuning: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/9611/hpim1905r.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/637/dsc00192ue.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7909/hpim1911m.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/8024/dsc00201uhe.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8232/hpim2088r.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 I also gave 6cm extra to my rear fenders.I'm using 1303 rear fenders and 65' front. http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/2861/hpim1903o.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 |
Interesting mods, I like the front fender vents a lot, keep up the great work.

Hello from here Rigas, I am Stavros from Thessaloniki nice ride. What engine will you use?
|
hey stavros.how you'doin?how's the engine going?I'm using my old one.A 1600 with W110 camshaft,chromoly pushrods,cb 044 heads,30mm oil pump,external oil cooler,dual webber 36 with bigger venturis and jetting and 1 1/2 header.i will use this one till i have the budget to built another.
|
i also made a custom dash.I've tried to make it a litle modern.I'm using the stock tach,an autometer gauge with rpm,oil temp,oil press,and water temp:confused: (not needed),all in one.beside those i'm using and a/f meter and an external temp gauge.
how it use to be http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5783/dsc00288rd.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 and after http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/1511/hpim1760p.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/4315/hpim1761.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/6628/hpim1763.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/1029/hpim1899.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 to be continued... |
i've primed the car in black primer and starting sanding for paint.I've painted the engine bay red and i hope till the end of the week to start spraying colour on the car.

Modifying the stock pedal cluster is a cool idea. Looks good.
http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/9504/hpim2010.jpg |
I MUST have more information about the pedals!! What gauge metal is that? What else, if anything, did you do to stiffen them?
|
The metal is 1mm steel.I made them with wood first and then cut the steel.Ibent them a litlle and weld some metal from behind for strength.I will use a roller pedal for the acceleration.

Very nice.

its been a while since i've last posted in my thread.nothing major.remember this?
http://imageshack.us/a/img96/5060/dsc02200q.jpg i didn't really like my gauges.i think those didn't match with the theme of my bug.i wanteed something more vintage.so i took off the ext.temp and a/f gauge and replace them with two original vw vdo gauges out of a golf 1 gti.an oil temp and an oil press gauge and since the big auto meter didn't match i decided to give it a vintage look.I took it all apart and and took off the three little gauges inside the big one.painted all black and put white numbers on so it mathes the vdo look.i let the pictures do the talking. http://imageshack.us/a/img837/1417/hpim25842.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img23/6566/hpim25852.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img210/1264/hpim25862.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img209/8404/hpim25872.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img803/4932/hpim25882.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img10/3323/hpim25892.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img829/4479/hpim25902.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img17/4148/hpim25912.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img404/9325/hpim2592.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img33/6945/hpim25932.jpg the stickers are from model airplanes and i had a copy of the original board to put the white numbers on the same spot where the black was,and to be sure i also made a clear film to put on the black one just to be sure. |
