Well we finally got around to doing some work on Jane....
The motor has been rebuilt to a 1640 with various new bits and pieces and still awaiting a new carb to go on her then she'll be perfect.
Its time for a rebuild on the rest of the car so we started last weekend to dismantle her ready for painting... it will be a full inside and out paint
job, new interior etc etc... will be posting pics as the build happens.
here are some as we dismantled.
lello watching on anxiously
and on the trailer off for the face lift

other vee dubs in various stages of their own facelifts ...... am missing her already!!!!!

thanks all... upon closer inspection from the painter he is impressed that the rear sections near the rear window dont appear to be rusted at all...
they are going to remove the foam crap in the tail section and up the sides and seal it all up to prevent rusting later.
The only spots he could find some rust was in the top edge of the bonnet, in the rh front panel where the fender bolts go in (two spots need repair)
and just below the petrol cap needs further inspection as the paint is cracked.
so all up it sounds promising for the panel beating/repair side of it.
we cant wait to start getting all the bits and pieces for the assembly etc...
dashboard went off on monday for repair and should get it back this weekend or early next week.

we went to see her today and check out some interior panels that were in stock. engine is now out so i will go on friday to get it and return it home
to work on the tinware (going to powdercoat) and rebuild the alternator etc..
the front end has been in a light bingle at some point (tell tale signs on the bumper which we queried) and panel beater says it has pushed the nose
back so they will fix all that up to align the bonnet etc..
have all of her bits and pieces in the garage awaiting inspection etc so will start that next week at work.

we are sticking with white... tho it will end up being a brighter white.
i have the speedo in today ready to strip and fix - the trip meter does not turn and the front glass is cracked. also the ring needs to be pulled off
for painting to match the rest of the dash inserts.

yep... engine is a goer... i had to pull the motor out for the paintwork anyway... so its out and gonna powdercoat the tinware etc.... maybe overhaul
the alternator while its out and touch up a few things o and new carbie to be fitted..
really wanted it out so that the fire wall could be painted car is getting full treatment inside and out , under guards etc. and all the sound
proofing in engine bay could be renewed etc. thinking of chrome dress kit too.
so lots to do. but all good fun.

we went and saw jane again on sat... picked up her motor and picked up the dash on the way out there. dash has come up a treat... all repaired now so
it'll look great back in the car. Jane has had some repair work done on the front end... she's been in a bingle at some stage - figured it when we
bought her as the front bumper mounts were bent before they go into the body. So that's all been pulled out to the correct position. they found one
of the internal panels in the front was just blowing in the wind so that has all been welded up. the rust in the front right fender bolt hole section
has cut and repaired and the join at the drivers door was out of alignment so that has been aligned correctly. the metal strips that hold the rubber
seal for the bonnet have been replaced and the top stip accross the bottom of the window will be replaced next as it has sections missing etc.

i am hoping to sort out some suspension work with it.... new balljoints, tierod ends, maybe pull out the beam and narrow it, put adjusters in it
etc... haven't decided on the mags yet as the ones we want are hugely expensive and depends on whats left after all the other bits we want etc.
lower the rear end also.. hoping to go discs on the rear... new brake lines... fix up steering box etc replace steering coupling, damper, new shift
coupling etc etc etc.... and it goes on....
