DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Not much progress but the past weeks been working on the wheels. Got the fronts welded and still need to check offset for the rears before welding... :) http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/Three%20Five%20Six/20161112_154938.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/Three%20Five...

Not much but I got the rear bumpermounts made. Just need to weld them to the frame...

Enginelid fitted perfectly now so I started finally to build the rearbumper too...

And done!

Planning the next cuts. Marked traces from mold...

Finally got the parts together. Here still just glued together with resin. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/Three%20Five%20Six/20160721_183627.jpg Had to testfit on body just to confirm it still is in shape... I use classic Mini hinges. https://youtu.be/ALE4VkMKkFM Vidclip. After test...

Yes. Been thinking about the tabs too... :D

There are traces of the slots from the mold so they will come soon.. The mold was made from an original.

Yesterday the innerframe and skin finally joined. Still need fiberglass work before it is done.

Not much but the past week finally got some time in the garage. Had for beginners repair the enginelid frame that had been damaged in shipping. Some cracks on each side of the "box"... http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/Three%20Five%20Six/20160616_193109.jpg Then reshaping the...

This arrived from Sweden yesterday. Now I have the innerskin and support that looks more correct than the ugly box that previous builders had started to make..

Thanks. I think the X inside the doors that is a part of the rollcage will take care of that issue rather than a single impactbar mounted to the fiberglass body? :D http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/Three%20Five%20Six/20151124_161602.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/...

Got the lock and frames fitted on the righthandside door on Saturday.

Now the driverside door lock works! Lots of work as the door and B-pillar need to be remodeled from original to fit the Beetle locks. Much easier on a off the shelf kit car where such work is already done… :) Door says click! Vidclip :D http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/Three%20Five%20...

Driverside door frame mounts done! Makes the inner skin some more rigid already… :D http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/Three%20Five%20Six/received_10208335649521760.jpeg Next step is to start fitting the lock mechanisms…. I will mount the beetle locks upside down as this way the lever a...

Check my Pre-A project here on Replicas. I fit widefive discbrakes to 1302 spindles and uses VW Polo calipers with adapter. ;) http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/Three%20Five%20Six/2014-05-27%2017.07.17.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/Hebster52/Three%20Five%20Six/2014-05-27%20...
