First top layer of Zinc!

Ben worked like a demon getting the last of the major welding points sorted. Just a couple of small plates here and there to finish off.


The kids were enjoying it!


I spent most of the weekend preparing the petrol tank area so we can get the gearbox and engine back in. Also spent most of Sunday scrubbing the floor!

From the new original wheel arch...


To the fiberglass patch repair of the windscreen...


It's all looking good now:-

Next weekend, I'll mostly be scrubbing more stuff! ;)

What is the VW logo?

It's a symbolic representation of the Universe! Thanks to TomT for spotting it on his journey through fractal vortex theory ;)

The numbers on the edge of the Circle are 1 .. 9 with Zero in the centre where the path crosses itself.

3, 6, and 9 represent the causeless absolute (the stuff between, and inside, space) and the other numbers represent reality:-













The full article makes for mad reading and links the concept with the Mayan calender: http://www.markorodin.com/content/view/7/26/

Those VW logo designers were a crafty bunch - no wonder it's so nice to look at ;)
