This is a resurrection! That cool that the motor runs. I've been having fun the last few years seeing if I can make something out of all the junk parts I have collected. Both of my type 2s are currently running "junk" motors.

This was the idea when I decided to tackle this mess, and I'm actually glad I had to put this "project" on hold last year soon after I started working on it, because it's given me enough time to gather up a lot of left over junk metal from other people's projects that I was not planning on replaceing back then. It's actually going to turn out alot better than I expected......That's if I finish it of course

Imposibble (for now at least)
I still don't have a picture of me sitting inside that singlecab that I can photoshop my head getting bigger like last time.

More shit parts on its way, I got a complete set of gates and treasure chest doors to make one descent set out of two. These gates are not the greates, but they're in way better shape than what's on the singlecab now.

so I picked up the gates over the weekend, and they were in better shape than I thought, First I have to thank "crukab" Tom for going over an hour out his way to pick them up and bring them down to Litchfied CT where we were gonna be camping and attending the show this past weekend.
tonight I started ripping into them, both of them need lower sections replaced, one of them got taken apart, the next one gets done tomorrow, I also freed up the hinges that were frozen.
The idea is to cut the panel off the ones with the logos and glue them onto these set and end up with a descent set.

I give you, Master chrome plater Keith
