| Awesome, can I come over and take a look?
You have got so much done already and I always love a step by step build with pictures.
She is going to be one classy car when she is done. | |

| My lips are sealed but it will look very desirable when it is done.  The current lilac looks very nice next to my bug, they are both bright colours but Stu has had a niggle about it since I have known him. Time to scratch that itch.  | |

| Cheers dudes.
colour will be a secret until its in paint, then the interior colour will be a secret until its in.
It'll work I'm sure.
Wire brushed the rust yesterday. 4 bits 1 inch long! I'm a tad pleased!
Never done a build thread before. I've broken my cherry with the nomads!

| You got it down, awesome mate, absolutely f-ing awesome. As you said, it was one of the trickiest parts as you will see it every time you are in the car and it looks like you have done a nailed it. | |

| ^^^^ Talking of Grinders and balls.... I got a hot pair last weekend when I didnt think about where the sparks would go whilst grinding, it was a pleasant sensation for a bit, well after I thought I'd pee'd myself, and before it got hot and I had to walk about like a saddle sore cowboy......
And to think I've been welding and grinding for 12 years on and off! ;-) | |
