Managed to get the arms on this morning so all good

Went and gave blood this afternoon so couldn’t do anymore - hopefully find a few hours next week to get the hubs and steering arms on - will then look to get the ARB on too.

Cheers

Had a good evening.
Installed the nearside hub with not to many problems - pics:

Steering arm not screwed in yet:

Offside - again no issues:

Steering arm in on the offside:

Wheel on

Both wheels on the floor (nose bleed time ;: )

Final shot fully planted on the floor and enjoying the rain:

Due to failing light and rain didn’t get the anti-roll bar fitted - for another day.
Will look to start on the brake pipes soon.

Cheers

It’s looking brilliant. Love all those clean lines. Preparation of all those parts was a really good call.

Thought you would have had the Beetle done by now as it looked in fairly good nick :msn4:

It was, but took forever - probably could have had it altogether by now but hayho :mrgreen:

Looked at starting to fit the brake pipes from the brake pressure regulator back so fitted the regulator first:

Around 12 years ago I bought flexi hoses (Goodridge - weren’t cheap from what I can remember) and they have been sat in the garage ever since.
So, got the new Kunifer brake pipes I bought a few months back and tried to work out what goes where - managed to suss it out.

Need to order a few more things (pipe clips etc) so I can complete the fitting so will do that soon.

Ordered clips and stuff and arrived today so jacked the back of the bus up into the air and started to add the rear pipes - went OK - a few pics for your entertainment and also if you can point out any silly things I have done

Offside:

Rear:

Nearside:

Another rear shot:

Question - the pipe can be seen going through a metal tab:

Is this what needs to be in there?

Cheers
