More pictures of the progress. She's getting a new wiring harness currently. Widened and narrowed wheels are here also. They're detailing the motor currently with a few little tricks. The interior is super basic like a commercial vehicle. The trick has been that these things didn't have headliners, so we're have to rig something up custom. Getting really close.

Here's some more progress pictures. Should be ready in a few weeks. I'll be going up there to pick it up and headed to the VW Classic to debut it. It's turning out exactly as I imagined it. Pretty excited :dance: :dance: One of the cool little tricks we did, was to make the Fram filter into the actual breather box :thumbs: All of the decals will be actually painted on :thumbs: The drums out back are actually aluminum Porsche drums.
