Time to bring the thread back from the dead!

I've taken a bit of a hiatus from this project. However I've sorted out a some stuff in my head and am now waiting on some parts from Franklins VW werks and Airkewled....


Also the project has been moved to a new location. With more light and room so its a much better work space....

Pictures coming soon...

Yeah I'm not dead....


Long story short is that the BMWs are being sold and I picked up a new daily driver(2007 Rabbit) and refocusing on the beetle. I got some new shots that I'll post up later this week and continue on with this story. Its only taking forever..

Ken that hurts man! It has a interior it just needs to be put in it and all the parts put back together. Seriously isn't having a 2010 Volkswagen okay?

Oh story on the pics...
Ladyfriend dropped the camara and corrupted all the pictures so I'm going to have to take new ones and wait for Future shop to give my Canon back.

No not really.

I'd offer to help with your unicorn of a car but you have not mentioned a time, place or brand of beer offered.

Ok ok, give the kid a break. We all know he sold the car and just doesn't have the cajones to fess up. He probably used the money to buy a nice Toyota Corolla or something.

Nah, Kirin likes the offbeat imports. He likely got a Daewoo.

I think he will come around with a finished Bug. It has probably taken a lot of money and effort for him to stop it.

I look forward to it.

Yeah yeah give me flack.
Unfortunatly during the fall and the spring I'm a full time student. Simply, that leaves little time and money and energy to work on cars.... In amongst all this I'm pushing hard to help my mom get her car done and get my vintage beasties on the road. Plus try to have some life.

No corolla's or daewoos in this fleet. Just a vintage BMW and beetle and a daily Rabbit..

Ken. I have no idea what plans you have for over christmas. But I plan on hammering out my floor pan and getting it back on the ground over the break. IF you want and have time, catch a ferry over and I will feed you whatever Guinness/ winter ale you like and supply tons of BBQ fodder.

Oh the teaser pics...










Thats it for tonight. As much as I wish I could just pound this thing out over night I can't. I've been working on a 5 year project called my Bachelors degree. 13 months left and I'll be out and looking for a career...

Pffft. Bachelors degree. Nice excuse. I think somebody's gettin a wee bit embarrassed to be coming up with these grandiose alibi's. A life, sure sure.

I should indeed have some free time over the holidays. Might want to pick a time now to be sure. I use my holidays to the utmost until closing time.
