but one question you have a hydralic hand brake. but in holland it is Ilegal to have youre normal brakes and hand brake on the same line

. I dont now if know that.

Off course do I know that. I look things hardly through, before I do something. That's why there are big gabs made in the handbrake-bracket so that the original handbrake-cables still can be used (on this handbrake) to go through the yearly safety-check (APK).

Wiebrand, the car looks awesome! You've done some excellent work.

Pardon my asking, but who made that roll-cage in your Beetle?

I don't know who made the cage

So finally an verry small (only text) update.
Last monday and thuesday evening I've worked on my bug what I didn't had done the last 1,5 month.
I've cutted out an verry rusty piece in the trunk and welded an self made piece in it. Also some rusty spots on the place were the trunkhood sits on the body were changed for new pieces.

That's all for now folks.

I hope to do some more update-ing soon... so my car will finally be finished in a year or so.

Nice car! It's great that you are posting the progress on your build! I think we can all pick up new ideas!

May I ask what fenders you are using? Brand size, and how they were widened (from inside our outside). Do you have more photos of the fenders?

Thanks!

Racelook · #7 September 19th 2005, 16:37

Thanks for the nice comments.

The fenders are from Kerscher ... www.kerschertuning.de .... the best polyester fenders I know. The fronts are 2 cm widend, the rear 6 cm.
The're widend form the inside.

Greetings Wiebrand

Love the job done on the car so far . I am impressed at the workmanship going into this car . It is definately not some slapped-together weekend mechanic special . I can hardly wait to see the final results ! Axl .

sex!

SO tonight I've worked an hour or 5 at my car. Checked several weldings for not being good, welded them and grinded them.

Here are some pics of it.

And also some pics of the new piece I welded in last sunday at the trunk.

That spot off course has to be welded at the other side (that's on the planning for next time).

That's it...
