Yay! The wheels with tires are back on and look fantastic!

This completes all work for the front-end


Wish I'd bought the right lug nuts - but there coming!

Which will be the lucky two to get new tires this weekend and be the first back on the ground?

Here is the color scheme

Now the tranny is real tore up


So many gears

And ball bearings in every nook and cranny possible

And here is my other color - Racing Green - for that two-tone effect

Pics from behind - I'm going to leave as is without a backing plate.

YAY! Rotors and disc brakes fit perfect.
Wheel looks great on that rotor.

We have a color for the beetle! Gun Metal?

This is the result of mixing Rustoleum gloss black with aluminum - Perfect!
Now if I can just mix it exactly the same again

This was an experiment so we weren't precise in our mixing
Just painted the back sides of the wheels to see what the result was going to be.
I like it a lot - and the price of paint is excellent!

The new disc brakes are here!!

Here's the next assembly...

Practicing a little body work with the smallest body part - the decklid.
Sandblasted and treated with rust killer. Waiting to paint on the primer.
