Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

onto the beam

with the 8 inches cut out (don't worry, the adjusters are 2 inches and are going back in so it's actually only a 6 inch chop) the beam was fastened into this jig

you can't see it very well but there is a straight edge clamped to the rear to ensure it's all aligned correctly

out comes the welder

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

we had a dry fit to ensure everything still fits ok

the steering box needed a bit of 'fettling'

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

a replacement shock tower will be fabricated in roughly this shape

this area was primed ready for the new rear quarter to be welded in

the dash is nearly stripped

and yet more filling of one of the seats, the others still to be done! :eek:

1. - not too bad, we can check it on weds once you have fitted the top arms and spindles

2. - filling the factory speaker cutouts with ally - speedo area remains, glovebox swage gets extended to match up with left grille swage and a long ally panel cut to fit

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

Paul & I made a bit more progress last night

First we prepped the roop ready to take the new quarter

Meanwhile I knocked up a repair section for the engine bay corner

Paul Busily chopped all the remains of the old quarter out

I butchered the top off the new genuine quarter !

Then unpicked all the nastiness that was at the rear end of the gutter - couple of nasty repairs

Quick repair primed up in weldable primer

Prepped and ready to take the new quarter
