I haven't really got any real updates, just been enjoying driving this thing 8)
Here's a pic from our local Easter VW show..........

And another participating in the Easter Procession, where 60 000 people watched on.........

Since buying this thing all I've been wanting to do is get stuck into some kustom body mods, now that I'm finally happy with where it's at mechanically, it was time!!

I thought it might be nice to do a step-by-step, here's what I started with........
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-09210906-1.jpg

Trimmed the washer down for drainage.....
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-09212127-1.jpg

Modded the antenna base...........
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-09215252-1.jpg

Capped the tube......
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-09215822-1.jpg

Presto, one ready made frenched antenna kit..........
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-09222926-1.jpg
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-09222950-1.jpg

I found the centre of where I wanted it and drilled a pilot hole...........
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-15151423-1.jpg

I'd been thinking of the best way to do the eliptical hole, here's what i came up with............
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-15152102-1.jpg

Still needed some fine tuning with a 1/2 hound file, but it worked a treat...
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-15154349-1.jpg

At this stage I swapped the antenna for a lenth of M10 all-thread, this aided in holding the tube while I got it sitting where I wanted it and stopped the risk of damaging the antenna.......
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-15154410-1.jpg

I marked around the tube (ensuring the seam was at the front so you wouldn't see it) and trimmed off the excess leaving about 5-10mm left and tacked her in......
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-15162421-1.jpg

After finishing wellding it in and ground back.......
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/phatvw/2012-07-15170427-1.jpg


Still needs a bit of filler and a lick of paint but i'm stocked with the result!!...
