It should get painted next month.

Finally!

Alex

And another pic!

:hehehe:

Its starting to look like a beetle now !

Sandeep

Well look at that ! It's got doors, it's got fenders, it's got a hood and a trunklid !! :D :D

Pretty cool Alex ! Can't wait to see it when it is painted...

Rob.

i know how you feel man. hoping to get mine back from paint soon. jake is finishing up my engine this week.

congrats. you are going to have a great looking car. i love splits. what color are you going to paint it anyway?

awesome!

lookin good

I especially like your vert/split deck lid with the vents: very rare!
Nice, congrets.

Just do a little most days and eventually the car is finished. I skipped most days and it took me about 9 years...

Walter

Hey Wally,

to tell you the truth.....this is not a vert decklid. It is my origianl decklid with the vert grills welded into it.

Looks good though doesn't it? :D

Alex

Update
 

New pics! All one colour now. :D

Alex

And another one. :D

Alex

Very smooth!
Looking better and better!
Walter

fantastic car alex :D

my 'dream' year car (51 / 52). I love crotch coolers :D

I must pull my finger out & get on with my car :D

Too bad that I actually do not have any crotch coolers for my crotch cooler split.

Oh well.....

Alex

Those final primer pics are great, I love seeing cars in that stage of restoration...

Shweet !

looking good.

Sandeep

so cool seeing your hard work come together at last isnt it alex! looking great! you got a motor sorted yet? wont be long before youre rolling if you have!

Motor is coming late September. So I have some time to get the car together. I do not think it will be on the road until next spring......does not make sense to drive it in the winter in Canada :D.

Alex

Alex,

I can store that engine for you in the back of my beetle until late October if you want ! :D

Sandeep

Hey Sandeep, that's sounds like a great idea !
Since I am the guy who is always willing to help, why don't you let me take care of your old engine for you ? :D :D

Rob.

Alex, so what's the final product going to look like(ie: what color are you going with, suspension, engine, etc...)

Sorry if it has been posted elsewhere, but looks good , so that's why i ask.

Porsche Seal grey.

You can see tons of pics in my tech articles on the main page.

Alex

Alex,
That's awesome!

I do not know if this is a proper question, but I am just curious, how much does a paint job cost in US? -usually-

M.

lol. anywhere from $500-$5000 depending on condition of the body, paint being used, painting in fender well, on and on.

That is sweet

is it in colour yet???

a month in primer is a loooong time!!

Alex

Very nice... :goodness:
