HELLO Everyone and here is Project Ciderbahn

[stillmorecider]

First and foremost........HELLO!

I am Alex, Al (Silky if you must) and after reading the forum for a bit and now deciding that 2008 is gonna be a productive and more organised year

I have had three beetles and also a 1970 bay with my old man and boy am I mad that we ever sold it...... but then again we never knew they would become so popular and expensive!!!

I bought a early 72 danbury late last year and have been searching for somewhere to build my dream..... so that me the missus(thats her in the pics looking all smug) and my little un can have loads of fun.

It needs a fair bit of work now got a workshop so that is all good hopefully you lot can guide me through it!

Hence the name "Project Ciderbahn" = No cider till its done

I will post some pics in a minute but one thing thats buggin me..... The front panel was replaced by the last owner..... would I have had lowlights on it making it a coss-over?? surely it was.....

Anyway hope to meet you all soon and have a natter and a beverage!

Heres to 2008


Al

Hi and welcome to the fold...

Nice looking crossover you have there and correct thats a late front clip, its usual to plate the indicators over and remount the low lights also remove the late bulge (though some fit an early badge and thin out the centre portion so it fits over the bulge snugly).

Good luck with the resto...

Cheers for that.... cant wait to get started... been reading far too many threads on her gaining loads of inspiration. I will try to get as many pics as possible.

And hopefully when I stumble you guys will be my saviour!
