Well, the snow finally melted. Jumped back into welding the quarter in. As Edd China would say, I’m quite chuffed with the results.

Well, epoxy primer, filler, sanding, and the little grinding discs I’ve been using are all on the way. I feel good. Finally some visible progress.

Haven’t worked on it in a few months. Looking at selling my house, and been doing a ton of work to it, which has left no time for the Bug. The good news is that the new house I’m looking at has a bigger garage and more room to work on it so I may actually finish it.

I could’ve sworn I’d answered you. Sorry. Update is that my wife and I have spent the last 3-4 months getting our house ready to sell. Looking for a house with a bigger garage. Then I’ll be able to work on the car more.
