Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar
Was a bit harsh!
Should I delete some of it?

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar
I understand the point but surely anyone can look at VZi too?

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar
22,670 views on volkszone*
2735 views on fl4tlanders*
do I even need to ask which is the more important forum to advertise the project on? without financial backing of some sort the club project will be impossible to complete / sustain, we may have only sold 20 items of Jagerbug clothing to non members so far but shall we sit down at the end of 2008 and see where the majority of purchases came from?
which of the above figures will excite potential sponsors do you think? a build up thread on an internationally busy vw forum like volkszone with literally hundreds of people viewing the thread each and every day or our club forum? don't get me wrong, i love this place / club to death but let's be realistic here for a second!
are we trying to attract potential sponsors / donations from people or just keep club 'members' happy?
I apologise if you or anyone else feels that I am not pulling my weight, i've only spent hundreds of hours updating Jagerbug stuff all over the internet since day one of the project.
Yes, i failed to update this thread on one or two occasions. I'm afraid at midnight when I've just arrived home from working all evening on the car I chose to only update volkszone at the time instead of both. strike me down for wanting to go to bed!
there are no "handbags at dawn", you've just rubbed my back up and got the reaction i'm sure you thought you'd get
Merry Christmas
* figures accurate at the time of posting
(edited to add the festive message at the end)

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar
remember folks, measure twice, cut once or in this case measure many many times just to make sure!
Alex continues to fettle the front pillar repairs
and again the front end is assembled
this time complete with fuel tank to ensure everything fits just right
yellow roof having the dinges and dents worked out by Alex B whilst Paul B marks off where to cut
some precision markings made on the car
front skuttle in and done
and just to prove it's not complete guess work
cross your fingers, no turning back now!
Paul getting to grips with his big chopper :eek:
both rear corners done
the roof chop continued...
each pillar was cut with care
it was surprisingly quick once all the measuring and checking had been done
look at the concentration on Rich;s face, and he's just watching! :lol:
last cut
not a particuarly impressive video but thought we'd capture the moment the roof was lifted off for the first time this way rather than in a sequence of pics
http://s146.photobucket.com/albums/r280/pughdog/?action=view¤t=MOV01277.flv
Alex B and Rich S got to work removing the foam from inside the rear quarters
whilst Paul removed the pillars from the old roof
the white roof was completely stripped
next, Rich S got on with cleaning up the top of the door pillars
whilst Paul did yet more cutting!
as you can see, we're using the white roof at the rear, a bit of trimming yet to be done to fit
It was like a Beetle roof sale outside!
Rich S in place ready to support the roof / posing
time to trim up the rear corners of the white donor roof
it's not as big a chop as this pic looks!
bit of jiggery pokery needed on the door post
measured, checked, measured again then tacked into position
as you can see from this pic, when you remove several inches from the rear of the roof and 'slide' it back the front screen doesn't quite line up!
Rich S is quickly calculating the adjustments needed in his head
hence why you use 2 roofs in the chop, only the rear of this white roof is used
the offside pillar tacked into place
the roof loosely clamped in place, a good idea of how the rear screen will look (notice Rich S is still in the background calculating)
a view from the inside
the top of the pillar fitting against it's 'new' roof
the pillars seemed to line up quite nicely
then it was back onto the other roof, the yellow one, a quick chop of the front screen pillars
then make some room for the front half to be put in
the yellow roof held in place at the front
as the next picture shows, we've left a bit of extra metal in both halves of the roof so we can make adjustments where neccessary
although the roof chop is by no means finished, not a bad days work last Friday
a lot more to do (including taking the roof back off, removing and replacing the rear quarter panels!)
