New wing repair panel made for the arch section , as the original is in poor condition.

Decided on making a lock seamed bead to attach the airbox hood to the airbox. This gives me the access to regularly check it and keep it clean and rustfree. https://i.imgur.com/ZAxhoxu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/m16ecIa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BedmfCT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OodS6pT.jpg Here you can se...

Re: 1972 fastback. nwe 532k

They are a brilliant car to drive no doubt. Second to no other VW imho. Its only because I couldn,t sell it to someone else, that I,m doing it to be honest, I like it too much to scrap it.
