fasty update!
Hey everyone!
Thought I'd post some pics I took recently of the rear apron replacement on my '66 fastback. The white apron sitting in the foreground is
the replacement to go on the car. My main motivation for doing this job was that VW never painted inside the bellows and the other being that I wanted
to make the engine bay/rear boot area smooth (i.e. remove the dipstick/oil filler, air filter pick-up, etc...) since I'm going TypeIV power.
I've also welded in engine mounts, moved the early air delfectors back a few mil' (to make room for the engine mounts) and done a fair bit
of other metal work in the tail region.
The rear apron is also getting dual exhaust outlets, when I cross that bridge ofcourse
Cheers,
Cam
P.S. Sorry it looks like such a mess, and my digi camera is the dodgyest on the planet! The black-ish looking stuff is'nt rust or anything as
bad. It's where I've welding on sections of a new lip, which has also resulted in the original paint bubbling back (from the heat) and
it's only got a sealant on it atm to stop any possible rust. The white stuff is where the hole for the dipstick has been shaved (it's etch
primer, to make sure I've welded it all dead flat) .
