hi wiebrand !

some news ??? :confused:


Benoit

Sorry Bennoit.

There's not verry much news, but there's some;

Past week didn't do much on the bug. We had to finish the racecar for past wednesday, because we went racing on circuit Zandvoort. What an experience was that!! SUPER COOL!!!! Cruizing with 175km/h on the straight, full in the brakes and with squeesing tyres through the corners LOVING IT !!

Today started with bonding the chassistunnel. Quite an difficult job that bonding. Looks easier than it is.

No pics today

Wiebrand

Today bondo-ed (i don't know an other word for it) the tunnel of the chassis. Stays and quite difficult job, but it
s nicely done.

Also masked everything so I can spray filler (higbuild primer) soon.

Wiebrand

In the UK we call them 'jogglers'.. Keep up the good work, you keep me fired up about my own project: www.fastbug.net..

Thanks Chris.

Today picked up some filler at the shop from Upol (PPG).

Soon I will spray it on.

Wiebrand

"Soon" was verry early this week ;)

Tonight I sprayed the filler on (3 layers). Worked out quite well.

Soon the real work (sanding) begins.

Wiebrand

Hey Wiebrand - keep up the good work, I've been watching your progress! :agree:

Here some pics of last wednesday.

Hey Wiebrand,

I notice two different colours on your floor pan. Is the center already painted in the colour that the whole floorpan is going to be in?

Keep up the good work, your updates keep me going too :D

Thanks..

No, this is the filler I layed on. When that is sanded, the real color can be sprayed on.

Wiebrand

Ah ok. So the pans itself are still in Epoxy primer? I think I get it now.

I am currently busy scraping off the rubbish that is painted underneath my floorpan as we speak. Once that is done, hopefully my boss will give me a price on how much it will be to sandblast my chassis. Then it should be painted in Epoxy primer too(but I want to finish the welding work first, obviously)...

Race look very nice project you have going Keep it up you are going to have one very stiff fun to drive super when your done.

Thanks guys.

@zeroaxe.. jep pans are still in Epoxy Primer

Today sanded the tunnel of the chassis with P320. Sadly sanded through the filler on the bare metal, so there has to be sprayed another layer on.

Masked the pan and sprayed another layer of filler on. Then let it dry in the sunlight.

Tomorrow the welding begins again :D

Wiebrand

welding again ???????? :eek: :eek:

what ??

I am just courious about all this bracing. New to the vw scene and wanted to know what it is for?
