Few layers of high build primer went onto the kicks - pretty happy with them thus far.

nah, there's plenty of beetles with fuches' , just looks like another run of the mill build up without the others. still an awe inspiring build up tho-a credit to you das! now go get back to work.
just spent a few minutes with the mouse wheel going up and down up and down- you've spoilt yourself too much, worked too hard for too long and gone silly. I give you permission to have the day off tomorrow, no note from mummy or daddy or wifey or doctory required. get well soon. love your work tho.:sandrine

Both wheels look great Alan. You could change them every weekend depending on how you're feeling. :P

Like to see Radars on it. I reckon it wants big wheels. 18" Radars?
Doesn't matter what you put on it. The game was over ages ago when you put the paint on. We all give in...you win.
They say nothing's perfect but mate you're sure giving it a nudge.

I am a sucker for old school and the full chrome wheels

Ultimately the choice is yours. What ever you decide to
do will look great. As always. Thumbs up too ya :thumb

I've got 16 x 6/7 Fuchs with black centres on my oval at the moment and the car looks real mean.
I can always change back to the polished Fuchs for that showy look or when I go racing.
Then if I get really board I've got some silver ATS Cookies.
Just make one set your street set, one your track set and get another set you can slide under the car for safey if the car falls off the jak stands. That's how I justify my Porshce wheel fetish.
Looking good either way.

Yes indeed....gotta fess up and tell the truth (I was going to let it ride for a bit longer but I am not a good liar). The Fuchs are not mine (although like CT says I may one day find a set for track/drag days because I love em!).dumone wrote:you've spoilt yourself too much, worked too hard for too long and gone silly.

They are temporarily bolted in place (loaned from my brother in law) whilst my cup wheels undergo a bit of custom treatment. I have seen a few beetles now in Oz with them so I am just striving to be a bit different. I just wanted to mess with some minds and keep you all on your toes for a bit!
So rest assured....the CUPS WILL BE BACK 😉
By the way, here is my brother-in-laws KG which the Fuchs will eventually find their way onto (by the way those are my BRMs he is borrowing for the time being so it was a fair swap!).

Yes indeed, both cages made by Custom Offroad thanks Terry :P
Nothing too exciting happenning to my Turbo Twists, but just enough to make them stand out a little more. I love old skool, but this beast will be mostly a new(er) school graduate.
Anyway, the KG has aforementioned rollcage, and 911 seats installed in readiness for the (one day) 2110 and IRS, plus 4 wheel discs. I had to post a couple pics of it because I love it so much! It is and will be a mighty cool car.

Today I was engrossed in sub box modification - had to figure out how to cover the 6x9 holes (not needed with a sub) and still make it look part of the original design. Covered entire surface of sub box with masking tape to protect the primed surface.

After tape, alfoil was glued in place with spray adhesive again to form a barrier to avoid resin getting through to the primed sub box.

Then a few layers of matt applied before allowing a couple of hours to cure before laying down a another couple of layers. This is where I am up to thus far. I will keep you in suspense regarding the plans for this "faux" outer panel.

Filled the pinholes in the kickpanels and re-primed with two more coats of high build primer which will be lightly sanded with 400 to obtain a smooth base for the colour coat.
