As long as you have primer on the metal then you can let it sit until you're in for some hard labor again
You're never too old to have fun with that project , you're doing great work! _________________ drive it like you just robbed the bank

All old photos linked from Photobucket are gone as I decided to not fund them anymore a few years ago.
I still have this project but had a looking break due to other "Ohanother beetle for cheap, I'll just...!"
Well, I guess you know how it goes..
Updated old posts with the photos I could find that gone lost int the thread. So now it is atleast sort of restored again.
One old photo from 2005-ish.

When checking the rear decklid part I realised I had messed up some measurements so the center section was appearantly cut 1/4 inch offset from centre....
Oh well.
So, I will have to do it a third time... Got to do it right this time...
The corners are fine so I'll still use them...

So. I transferred the template to the new donor lid and cut it. Then welded the previously made corner on it.
Then assembled the parts over the jig I made so I could test the fit on the body that I have out at the storage..
Doesn't look that bad for a mockup _________________ ~Kris~

Yesterday I reshaped the side sections so they woul line up with top corners and bottom tip. Was a bit of a challenge due to the 3 dimensional curvatures. I was happy when I managed to get both sides close to symmetry so I tackwelded them to the top and bottom. Next I need to go out to the storage again and see if it all still line up on the body before fully welding it. Also have to weld on the short piece in the centre to finish the centerbulge.
Looks promising though..
