New doors and Pan halves!!

So its been a productive past few days on the beetle! Over the weekend we drove down to Karmann Konnection and hand picked a set of excellent doors for the bug. Because of the difficulty of finding really good '59 doors we went with a pair of '60-'64 where the only difference is a small hole by the door handle that we will just need to weld up! Thanks to everyone at KK for helping us sort them!The door above looks really cool with its sun burnt paint! There is just a small dent which needs to be knocked out and its then perfect! The top door is already perfect!

Also we had an update from Wayne today, the new pan halves are welded in and the stock seat runners have been removed! Next up is the fuel line!

Hopefully it shouldn't be too long before its back! I then need to send the body off to be media blasted and up to Martin Curbishleys for a bit of prep work. We are however going to be delayed getting the car into Chris Issacs for the cage work but things are looking up!
