Took the body back off so it would make it easier to run all the intercooler piping .
I won’t need it anymore on the chassis so now we can start prepping the car for paint while I work on the chassis and motor stuff

With the body on, it is hard to appreciate the amazing job you've done cramming everything in there. From this angle, it looks awesome! _________________ 1971 Super Beetle |

Thanks ,
Got some of the hose runs done and the fill tank. Made a bracket for the fill tank but still have to powder coat it. everything is in mock up stage.

Everything is coming to together! Looking good! You’ve done a masterful job fitting everything in and making it look good.
That “fill tank” looks oddly familiar…

Thanks .
Yep same one . I just had AN bungs welded on. Thanks for the idea and link in your build .
I was able to figure out what silicone hoses I needed for the intake stuff and have them ordered.
Was hoping to be able to get some work done on it again tomorrow but we’ll have to see. _________________ I may not be the best, but when the top 10 get together, they all talk about me. |

Double checking the fit. On the filler i could move it down or i can cut out above it to be able to fill it. ac fitted and good to go.

Also started on putting the lower door patch panels on today . Need a new whip for the mig welder and I’m getting one Monday so I can start welding them up . Pretty happy with the way they are turning out for as bad as they were . I put new inner and outer lower panels on both doors .

I hear you . I try to order parts I need ahead of time but it doesn’t always work out that way. I’m waiting on a few things to come in but meanwhile I’m working on other things. _________________ I may not be the best, but when the top 10 get together, they all talk about me. |

No work done on it today. Short week and short on help , so I had to do more than usual around the shop . No time for the bug . I did get the parts I ordered in . All the intake turbo piping and silicone hoses and clamps . Might have time Saturday to get that together. _________________ I may not be the best, but when the top 10 get together, they all talk about me. |

Started laying out the wiring harness today . Oh this is going to be fun. Some have to be extended and others shortened . Some have to be eliminated Even though I’ve already pulled some when I took it out of the Wrx .What a clusterfuck. Did I say I hate wiring? Thank God my son loves this stuff and is very knowledgeable about wiring and electronics. _________________ I may not be the best, but when the top 10 get together, they all talk about me. |
