My Superbug

[AusSuper]

Measured the space between pillars, not doors, fixing that another way tho, want perfect gaps, worked out an easier way, mod the doors not the body length, it sits perfect on the pan that way, and it was even when i started, doors seemed the easier thing to mod to me, will do with the pics i should be working on it now infact, since you all like pics.... this is me

update, nothing special, dont have time to get to the vw shop so i decided to do abit of measuring while i could... wheels, roof, dash, sizes, clearance etc...

[AusSuper]

Oh and on more of a GL type note, to break up the rust work, it will be rolling on a tasteful set of wheels, around 18 inches tall, 8s front, 10s rear, not rice style, not chromies, just nice wheels, wouldnt see them on this type of car usually but i like them, roof thing was me contemplating a 4inch chop, so i have head room and clearance for a helmet for racing, ill decide on the chop or not after the bottom 1/2 is done, dash is getting 6 gauges in it, tight fit, tested to see if it would all fit and be visable etc, im happy, now going to make the dash from metal and weld in, im suprised i dont run away scared with this, but i have the right things motivating me pushing me to do it perfect, or as close to as i can get. oh and no they arent the seats going in this either, i have better taste than that,

somehow i think ill be cutting another body for this, not having much of an interior so its gotta look normal, i think its beyond my skills and patience at this point, anyone done this part before?

id love to see before and after pics and info if someone has without cutting another shell.

and another thing... i think ill have plenty of room for my chosen wheel sizes regardless of height, this is at zero travel and i could get away with an 18x8 wheel with low profile rubber under there, then add fatter taller guards should be a peice of cake

ok ok this is the style wheel im loving the idea of, its not chrome and its not rice burner style either, more of a hotrod street machine style look...

Im sick today thats why theres a tiny update, also there is a vw show on this weekend on 1 of the 2days i can work on it so dont know how much ill get done, hoping to hand form my own repair section for LHS footwell / inner wheelarch that meets the sills/heater channel section, first attempt at this, cant wait to break in the tools, wish me luck, hopefully wont be sick still on the weekend either.

Hate to dissapoint but different things have filled my weekend this time, i might get something done later today, no promises though... didnt get to the vw thing either... the vw population seemed to of doubled around my place over the weekend though, wish it was always like that, never enough dubs!

nothing happening as yet, have a funeral tomorrow on my day off so doubt much will get done, instead of trying to squish my stuff in im doing abit of maintenance on my missus's car... shes got good taste aswell... what do you think? oh and does anyone know what causes free play on a ball joint bug with a new steering box? adjusting screw doesnt change anything... i have no idea aboutr these beam things, give me struts anyday i say, so would you call this a GL bug? 17x7s white with pink/purple pearl through it, lowered, is it enough to be a GL???
