Thought I have best get round to making another record of what has, or hasn't, been done on my Volksrod over the past too many years.

nice bit of resto work on the body

Looking good, nice to see another Volksrod 

 good job but please think hard about where you mount your headlamps

Thanks........but don't look too closely 

good job but please think hard about where you mount your headlamps 

Yes, I should have considered incerting some lamp nipples (for want of a better description) and I probably would next time.  But the job was daunting enough as a first step into the black art of buggy body repairs.  I imagine I'll mount them through the original glass on the inside edges of the wings.  Also means the bolt should be well clear on the tyres when I make a hard landing

Volksrods are out there.  They were, and still are quite popular in Yorkshire.

so in the area where your nipples (phnar phnar) would have been yes?

Nearly, but on the top/flat section, to keep them vertical.  The nipples would have been set into the wing, but nearer the bonnet, like on a GP etc.

Look away Paddy, I've been welding.  Well that's what I call it




Look away Jeff, I've been painting.  Well that's what I call it 

Wow  good to see your back to working on your Volksrod 

So far, so good 

Phew! it's looking really neat and nice to see you are on it.

And that rear area with the curvy hoops looks good, is that 38x38x3 RHS for the frame....

Thanks guys.

" is that 38x38x3 RHS for the frame...." 
Stop getting technical with me Peter, what's RHS?  I thought it was Royal Horticultural Society, but I think I've got the wrong RHS     Something, something, steel I guess 
It's 40x40x3, or that's what it was advertised at, and 40x40 plastic end caps fit nicely 

A few bits added, indicators, fuel cap and wiper spindles, a few dash switches.

Not the best of paint jobs, but it's not finished, and I have seen worse. 

 

looking good, the garage is not too orange either.
