Yea the cars not been sat in alot. Appartently no-one has ever used the back seat. Chased down the original owner ( only one!) , sent her a pic and
she was stoked! Told me all about the car and it's history. I have the original sales reciept for the car and even the guys business card! The
paperwork with the car is unreal. Nice lady aswell! I'll let you know about the rubber as i'm really after black carpet throught and under the
bonnet. I'm trying to get a price .

cage is in!
Managed to polish up the cage enough to fit it today. Bought all the nuts , bolts , washers , made some spread plates this morning and grabbed my
Makita. Got the cage in with leaving the seats in and without damage to anything!! Got it all marked out etc and guess what. My drill was as flat as a
fart!!! Ahhhhh. Picking up another drill t'w and will get it bolted in. It's all a matter of taste and style but the cars going exactly in the
direction i want. Also removed the headlight eyebrowsand will replace with sealed beams and some porsche style guards very soon. Few pics of cage
losely in place! So chuffed! Thanks 1302 Steve!!

Thats a very nice project mate. There is a couple of things I have to ask you but I will u2u you.
I have an idea of the look you are going for and there isn't that much of it around, so respect for individuality..
Keep us informed!

Day 3 all good
Well after putting some primer on yesturday the enging bay recieved 3 coats and thye top coat today. No dramas at all!!!
Removed the seal for a cleaner look , usless with stand-offs anyway! Going to give it time to harden properly and clean it all up later this week.
I'm well chuffed with how it's come out and will look sweet with the stroker and some 48's in it instead of the 1300!!! Oh well not too long to
wait!
Few pics

Engine bay finished being painted , did last top coat last night and cleaned up engine today. Looks a million dollars. Few small jobs left though.
Also scored some 356 rims for the back last night with good 195/65's. Hopefully by the cruise on the 4th July car they would have been dechromed and
the car will run without hubcaps on satin black rims and painted drums. Very old skool! Here's a pic of my shiny engine bay

Been told the chrome is just a little pitted and will polish up fine and you know what i'm like with polishing. I'll see as i really want them satin
black like they are now. Like that look and they look stock but wider and not grab too much attention from Mr Plod! Bit of a sleeper look. Holding
back on the Erco's for abit now and put that money towards the motor build thanks to the 356 rims coming my way. Just what i was after!

Well with the Erco's now on wait til the motors built i decided to get something for the back and 356 rims were my choice. Rims to be satin black to
match the front , no hubcaps and painted drums. Idea to get some really scruffy 356 rims , dechrome them , blast them and paint. Matara came to the
party with some rims that he said were a little scruffy. Picked them up tonight and yes they WERE a little scruffy , overspray on them etc but really
good 195/65's on them. One hour later , a little prepsol , a little 1500 paper and NO polish yet ( ran out) and they have come up really , really
well. Far too good to dechrome!! So plans changed and i'll buy some to match the rear and forget about rims i think! Thanks Steve your a star and
your collection of cars is amazing , a splitty , a KG , a notch , 356 , bay window , cabro and beetle. Lucky sod!! Anyway thanks for the rims
Cheers Dan
pic of yet un polished rims , gonna look sweet!!!

Good to see they turned out OK! I didnt realise you's be getting stuck into them last night! Thats determination for you!
Remember to clear coat or vaseline them otherwise they will be rusty again in a couple of months.
Look for some 4.5' 356 wheels for the front, and put some smart car 145 tyres on and you will get the old skool racer look.
Cheers
Steve

LOL yes Matara it was my living room. Just put a huge plastic sheet down! Grabbed a beer , put some racing vids on and went nuts for 2 hours. Managed
to get some polish on them today ( quiet at work) and they are now on , just finished . With a final quick go with a mop they're looking good on the
black painted drums. Would love to get some 4.5's for the front , don't want 5.5'. Thanks again Steve.
Glad your happy Costa!
Here's a crap pic as i'm so chuffed!!!!
