VW Kurierwagen (VW 181)

[HUGO bOSS]

End of the day and a lot of dust...

Done (allmost ):

Note that this attempt had never seen on the net, or anywhere ... the floorpans of the beetle have a different curvature, not being straight on the back and the front has a more closed angle ...
Need to finish welding, make a patc back and need to put the rest at the front ... reinforcing... support for the jack ... Well, is missing the rest ...

The day 16...

We started with a new gas botle for the welding machine...
And António (another Antonio) helping me, Antonio and João... The team of the day...

A nice wear to weld...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

The other Antonio finished removing the paint from the fender and started on the doors...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Less to do....

 

[HUGO bOSS]

I started to pray...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Bellow the seat driver rail...

Cut, clean and zinc paint on him...

Still need to close this one...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

The seat belt hold zone was also rusted...

Still need to grind and make the new hole. The bellow piece need to be weld too...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Lots of grid to be done...

The worst and noisier part...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

And the rear left corner...

Still need to grind, and weld the reinforcement of the jack support and the jack support...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

And after 3 hours of griding...

Fantastic... can i put a WC there?

 

[HUGO bOSS]

The draw is done...

Need to make the rest now...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Many of the superficial rust disappeared...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Under the paint on the chassis...

A Tequila man!

 

[HUGO bOSS]

And after that, I finished the front left corner...

Well... still need to grind the spot welds...

But looks ok to me...

Also need to make a hole, like in the original one...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

More time on this chassis that I was thinking in first place...

But is to be the best possible...

And is allmost there in this side...

Day 17...
Some help...

Hungry men... he couldn't brake anything in that day

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Another hole...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Still need to grid and weld under side...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Some replicas of the floor mats suports...

Need to finish...
Four in place...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Bellow the driver seat...
