I am game for it, I would prefer to have skins done in MUMBAI (politically correct

). Take a week off from office, roam around, source parts, meet all fiat crazy friends, live to your heart's content.

4. Got one hella VW Beetle Headlight doom (for my future project)

5. Got one Lucas made in England tail Lamp of Morris. Pictures will folow soon.

Glad to see the progress on the car. Why was the face of the car removed and what is the second last pic stating. Am not able to get it.

adheesh · 21st July 2010, 20:26

@Arun: Please get the numberplate removed the next time you visit Manish's car.

The zinc primer cover all surfaces and more importantly should drip from all holes, including the numberplate holes.
@Sagar: Superselects and selects have a removable front panel from the factory however in most cars it is welded in place. This panel should be removed, finished and painted for a better finish.

Regards,
Adheesh Parelkar

Good to see the progress on the car!

And Many Happy Returns of the day, manish!

PS: Sorry about my 'prodding' but why have the padmini side-indicators been left on still?

arun1100 · 22nd July 2010, 06:28

Adheesh: Thanks for pointing it out! Will tell the tinker to remove the number plates today.

Shyam: He he ya.. Once the left body tapping starts may be the indicators will go!

Amazing stuff.

You plan to pick a bug in future.

Thanks for clearing the doubt. BTW the dicky stay mechanism looked like a PP side patti to me.

Manish, if you find any more VW headlights to spare, do keep me in mind for a set as my car is fitted with local units.

Also, if you find an extra fuse box, I could use it for my DLD 13 resto which is on. Thanks.

For the headlight, he had just one piece, i am looking for second. And then maybe in future I am fortunate to have bug in my home. I have just one extra, it is all yours now + One full red select lens bought earlier.

@ Sagar: my awatar photo is also of beetle

.

@ Pawan : Thanks for the wishes, as for finishing a lot is to be done. Lets see how things progress.

Also Karlos I got hold of one picture of my front seats, with the v shape very clearly visible. Your comments please.

Very interesting - it looks genuine indeed. This is only on the front seat back rest? What is left on the other parts?
