Project Status

Ok - in case you're wondering what gives... I'm a slacker. The ultimate lazy as s. So yes, this project has a 3 year time limit set.

It also has some disclamer put on by Red that blah blah blah...

Anyways - I've been measuring the roof for it's chop (to start possibly this winter) and to assist me I have the March 1997 issue of Hot VW's. That's right - I KNEW there was a reason I kept it!!!

Happy factor: Half Mast.

Reason: Need part II - April 1997 issue. I can purchase a copy right from Hot VW's, but I'm pretty sure I have it... just need to find it.

Oh - and I'm workin on installin spakin new brakes all on all four corners - why. Cause even if it looks like crap, it's gotta at least stop on a dime. I believe my days of stoppin entirely on down-shifting and e-brake are done. Kids have instilled fatherly responsibility in me. Have to!!!

Pics and all that crap to follow. Frick I really need to get digitized.

!!@#@#$%@$!!!

So... Metal cutting disc + palm = chum.

It wasn't KR who caused the bloodshed - but Vwfmly ('91 passat) who did. Doing some work on the Red Wagon and the grinder tried to chew my thumb off. Did you know those things cut skin!? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!!??

Frick.

Ah well - this liquid tylenol is helping...

It's not that bad. I still have 10 didgits.

??Score #2??

So - ye ask and ye shall recieve.
I may have a line on a complete '59 roof required for the 6 inch chop (see details of the build slowly will come). PLUS a complete set of glass - which brings me to the point of custom cutting glass... can it be done? Test subject: Rear window from a '72 - no good to me, never will be - at least it can be my canvas.

Cost: Unknown @ this time.

Happy Factor: Indifferent @ this time.

Link to window cutting with diamon blades to follow... as soon as I find it. Oh - and pics soon to be published as the APS is almost filled up!

SCORE!

So - forgot to mention, this is a low (no) budget project. So last night - in honour of a no budget project, I managed to find BRAND NEW low-back seat covers to re-do the seats in KR.

Cost: $0

Happy Factor: High

It's a Good Day. Good Day.
Now get back to work.
