Back to Basics

Very pleased as this is a good couple of grands worth of new gear. Descaled, wire brushed, acid washed, and all again, Chassis painted under and outside, then stone chip applied, Inside was 2K primer and VW gloss black. Now need some torsion seals covers and bearings to start building up the running gear. Still got loads to do on the body anyhow, but I like the idea that with the beetle you can start fine tuning the handling etc, before you've finished the body. Front beam is also nearly finished, but again need the obligatory new ball joints MEYLE style.
