Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

running board added to the drivers side

Image

dare I say it's starting to look like a Bug again!

Image

and after a hell of a lot of measuring, making templates, sanding and generally faffing about, the first lexan window goes in

Re: The JagerBug - Club Racecar

Well today I started with a stripped pan

Image

I then seam welded the frame horns to stiffen the back end

Image

Then fitted some gussets to stiffen the torsion housing



Image

Should hopefully be a bit stiffer now

Image

Then cleaned it all up ready for another coat of primer

Image

Before flipping it back over to tidy up the top side

Image

Placing all the text carefully
