what do your engine and trunk seal clipping things look like? I dont know the exact term for them.

The piece that sticks out that hold the seals in. Mine are almost all rusted and wont hold the seals. Idk what im going to do about that. I guess glue them.

update:
got it out of my garage. towed it down to my buddy's house. so i will be finishing everything there. we will be making a new wiring harness for it tomorrow in attempt to get it running. since i had it out in the open, i could finally get good pictures




aaand. my favorite.

Making good progress dude. Keep it up.

[Belvader]

looks great! and that black beetle is fucking awesome

[Nick475]

ignore the front wheels in first 2 shots, hadnt put them on yet haha. but anywho. fat tires on. fenders off.










ordered a new wiring harness, so after i figure out all that, should be running. next after that will be an 8 inch beam extension. which will push the front beam forward 8 inches (for all you air cooled newbies)

thats all for now! adios

[Belvader]

that fat rear wheel looks damn good and are you keeping it fenderless?

[Nick475]
