I suppose you're reffering to the... moving to our new house and the operation-part?  or am I missing something here??   |

Nice setup Rud! Even a "thinking" area to the left for surfing Samba or regaining sanity over a good Belgian beer when you get frustrated on a task.
Perfect garage for a Beetle. Excited for more updates, and I hope your shoulder is doing well! |
haha, thanks schwing! in a few years it'll be twice as big as it is now... right side (carport) will become garage as well and the wall in between will be gone... need to fit my bus in there as well so! (p.s. wife wasn't/isn't that happy with the change... ) |

Car is almost finished now... Almost ready to send it of to rebuild the interior (seats and door panels)
I'm still looking for the correct color code to paint the inner Side of the rim.
I've found Some info on the website of wolfsburg west... It states that this should be L81 (parchment white). But achter painting it looks rather too light.
Body color is L41 black, This is also the color of the outer Side of the rim.
Does somebody has experience with this? Or other code?
Car is a '56 oval.
More pictures later on... |

Is it just me or did something happen to make the last couple pages of pictures go away? Very frustrating after getting into this thread and then not able to see the final results.

You are correct - he didn't post any of the photos here so they went dead for whatever reason.
This is why you should post ALL photos on this site.
If the thread starter is reading this, post all of your photos here and contact me and I can fix the posts or give you access to do so.
