Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar
ok people, here we go....
today was a big day in the build of the Jagerbug, you'll see what I mean as the photo's are posted 
you'll have to bare with me on the description of some of them as I was missing for the first hour or so as I had to pop to work
right, this one looks like Alex B starting to get to grips with the skuttle panel, seperating it from the dash
there looked to be a hell of a lot of burning going on!
I reckon they were just trying to heat he garage up for me on my return
glowing red :eek:
if it was anything like Wednesday night I imagine there were hunderds of spot welds holding it together?
anyway, having built up the front end on Wednesday only to dismantle it all due to the filler filled front skuttle it was time to rebuild it, again
more fettling of the front skuttle
and a lot of chopping out of rusty bits!
no point having a rusty race car, if in doubt, chop it out 
so, having finished work for the morning I called in for some breakfast at mcdonalds, it was very well received by the 'troops'
and unbelievably, Alex's garage wasn't big enough for all of todays jobs so we had a little errection outside :lol:
the 'better' skuttle panel tacked into place
and a glimpse of the most important tool in Alex's garage, the mystical magic wand
one quick wave of this and the roof chop will be done
abbracadabbra
damn, the magic wand didn't work
so it was good old fashioned elbow grease that would have to be used. starting with stripping the roof #1 (we have 3 including the one on the car and a back up skin to use in the chop)
meanwhile, in the garage the rusty area you saw on an earlier photo was cleaned up and prepped
i think i got a bit ahead of myself before, this is a picture of the skuttle about to be tack welded into place (the pics are in order but this is the first time i've seen some of them so excuse the continuity )
more prepping in places never to be seen by the human eye
meanwhile outside, i was discovering that roof #1 was a bit wobbly :rolleyes: so a change of plan, we'll use the front of the yellow one and the back of the white one instead
closer look at the skuttle tacking
:incheek: so old i can't sleep
so here's a few more pics...
don't ask me what these are, i was still outside stripping bloody paint off the roof!
looks like the bottom of the screen surround being welded in
and then a front quarter back on
a few dinges and dents to sort out on roof #1 but nearly there with the paint removal!
looks like a patchwork quilt inside
but it was all coming together slowly
we do have the occasional break, this one for lunch. kindly cooked up by Nay (mrs Alex B)
yum, curried parsnip soup
then Rich B gave the yellow roof a damn good sanding with the da
whilst I started stripping roof #2 :eek:
and now onto the bit I expect people have been waiting to see.....
the roof chop! 
Paul offering up one of the templates made a few weeks ago, masking tape applied so we could mark out where to cut
a big thank you to Andy, our local German, Swedish and French manager for coming down, offering support, bringing chocolates, popcorn and (non-boobie calanders) and getting his hands dirty. well, he would do if Rich could figure out how to switch on the heat gun :lol:

All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar
Thanks for the updates Alex, as the club had not seen "the original" chopathon 
As Nay pointed out on another thread, it's a good job that the non club members who have bought 20 shirts, rather than the club members who have purchased 55 can see it on the Volkszone, facebook, myspace etc! IMHO 
Merry Christmas
