Do you know this 1302 from Gerd Weiser? it's also Kasan Red.

Good choice on color Even the smilie agrees.

You might be right on the color, I found both informations on the web Anyway, it's OK for a '72.

However Mr. Weiser's car is in my top 3 favourite GLs, I haven't chosen the color to copy his awesome 1302..It seems just we have a similar taste.. and I discovered this in many other details, you will see. I would be very happy if can build something similar to that beauty

Thanks Walter, trying to do my best. anyway it's not as fast..a full year of work I have uploaded in 30 minutes. It's like the "than I fitted the porsche tranny" or "I put on my new turbo" sentences

Yeah, all pics in a week uploading looks quick, but one year is really fast, believe me. Most take years and years longer to restore just the pan and body.
For example, my car took me 9 years...
So in my view, you must have worked your *ss off and did a great job!

(July, 2012)
The car shop where the bug sits asked me to go ahead as they needed more place. So picked up some of the friends to put the body back on the pan. Fits well and like more the colored tunnel.





Was more simple than expected, but as you know there is always one screw...

Since we were in a hurry, I had no time to put everything in place.. there are no calipers, no pedals, no rear cup brace etc. The goal was to make it roll as soon as possible. Will change everything that is not brand new (srews, bearings, front brakes etc.)




Here we are at the moment, it won't be a quick progress, but trying to work on it step by step.
