Project: Wagon Attack (4WD Shuttle Time Attack Build!)

[Gizmo]

Some progress.

Got hold of some spares last week from a shuttle doomed for the oval...Managed to get a fulls set of manual windows, mirrors, bonnet, bumpers wings etc...

So first job today was to swap all the regulators over, before and after...no more hot wiring the windows to get them down.




Next on the agenda today was some structural cutting...















That is all...

[Gizmo]

Have decided to go Hard line from the bulkhead fitting to the brake flexi perch. So after what seemed like a 100 attempts at making this short, but fairly simple looking brake line...I finally got it right without it looking like A$$!

[Gizmo]

Finally finished the fuel lines.







also started on the rear bumper, filling and smoothing the fog holes. More on that in the next few updates.

[Gizmo]

So i've sold the electric windows and mirrors, so being the good person i am, i spent most of today de-pinning the wiring harness for both the windows and mirrors, pin by pin! instead of chopping it out.






Took out the looms for the Windows and Mirrors. also toom some other misc wiring out, mainly to do with speakers etc. Got quite alot of working to bin from the Dash and interior looms aswell. Stereo, heaters etc...

Finished the Pot the other day as the came finally came from Chinaland.






So satisfying making things with your own hands.

[Gizmo]

Mounted the swirl pot today, the bracket isnt final. Even after my ally reweld job its now to thick. Will be making a new one in due course.

[Gizmo]

picked up the new replacement panel for the boot tonight.







Just needs fitting up

You should have got them to do a cock and balls. That would have been epic.

[Gizmo]

I actually just wanted a Big "X", as thats the drawing i gave him.]

The guy restores Beetles and Campers, so i can deffo see a VW influence in the panel.

[Maric]

So you asked for an X and he gave you that? Don't take things to VW people they do whatever the F they want....

This wagon is so good man, I love keeping an eye on it
