Went out to the middle of nowhere and got a new windshield. The parts place even having one of these windshields is so confusing to me, but the price was right and it's brand new. I can tell it's been in their inventory for years. Early aftermarket glass, and it doesn't have a stupid blue or green tint strip at the top of it.

Found a brand new windshield at some junkyard in the sticks. Going to pick that up tomorrow morning.

Here's a pic I ran across today, me in the Shitaco back in '08.

I'm really enjoying the direction you're taking this. Exactly how I would finish one. Its coming together nice.

IDK if this will help. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/3779787510.html

No leads on a new windshield. Feel like I'm pretty much fucked there.

I dedicated much of today to getting the sunroof installed. It's been 5 years since I removed it and I couldn't really remember exactly how to put it back in. After much trial and error it finally went in and has it's slide and tilt functions working nicely. It's a crank sunroof so there's lots of little linkages and things.

Rolled it outside and took some pics. Looks so much better lower but I know I'll have to cut the springs just a tad to get it where I want. Will know more on that once the wheels are on.





As I rolled it back inside I noticed the driver side wheel was moving around.

Ball joint came undone from the hub.



Put it back in and made sure it was fully seated this time and tightened it real good. Still a bit uneasy about it. Can't imagine if that happened while driving.



Really close... a couple days away from being able to drive it around... assuming I can find a windshield.

Bummer, check vwvortex maybe?

This thing is so beautiful, but fuuu does it suck that you cracked the window :/

[harlerocco]

Thanks!

Finally put it on the ground. Well more towards the ground at least.





Then did something incredibly terrible :/ Cracked the hell out of the windshield trying to install it. Don't know where I can get another one...

had to construct a grill out of a mk2 single round badgeless.







Front end is just about done now.
