Work continues on the Beetle Boxter with the replacement seat mounts, unfortunately the original pressed items due them being ballsed up by the last crew so here we have replacements.
Work at the rear finally sees the wings fitting better and the rear valance altered to flow with the wings.
A bit of a cut.
A bit of a infill.
Mark brought across a used set of wings due to the after market wings being strained and stretched making it hard to get the correct lines, these fit bang on.
Cleaned up the lines of the boot catch and made the mounts flush fit.
Sorted the gap around the boot lid as the upper panel had shrunk loads when the Louvre's were filled in resulting in a poor fit.
Reworked the sharp edges and fully welded them around the rear grill, the seam was starting the split after the boot lid had been dropped shut a few times, edges now have a nice radius and will look better than a sharp edge when painted.
hi there
ReplyDeleteivve just stumbled upon your boxter build and i have a couple of questions regarding the engine cover.
do you have any better pics of the louvres on the engine cover and is it functional like on a porsche
cheers neil
