'56 rag with a twist

[fahrvergnugen]

Picked up the '58 donor for the oval today.



Looking good.





And a bus full of rust free '58 goodies


It's almost a shame to cut this to pieces, but it will happen. :twisted:

Time to take out the old grinder again . I really need the parts for my oval, but still it was difficult to cut up this nice '58.

No way back now.

After a lot of drilling, the dash is out.

Between family live, work and some work on my daily passat, the oval is going forward as well (slowly).
Bolted the nose on the body, now i can see better what to do and where to do it.
It looks like the right is OK.



On the left I had some fitting problems, probably the welds from the pedalbox where to hot. I cut out the piece that did not fit and welded in a bigger piece instead.



Still needs some welding, grinding and sanding.

Today I started making the '58 parafan look like an '56.

Here is the difference between the '58 and '56.


Time to cut again.


Cutting, and trying.



The result of a few hours work.

Today I worked on the wipers again.
Just to be sure I mounted the mechanism and it fits. (sorry for the crappy phone pic's)



To mount the mechanism I had to weld this bracket as well
