In the dark winter nights

At this time of year the summer season is almost forgotten. To refresh the good memories from the 2006 season, I found some pictures to "share the moment". This was the first official club stand the 6V Outlavws put together, just hours before we headed for Mantorp Park. A few of the outlavws good friends are also shown in the pictures.... Next time (2008?) there may be four split window beetles parked in front of our tent...

Split-kit-boy


Not everyone can see the happiness of owning a trailer full of metal pieces. Split Boy says it's the best thing he ever bought. Well, looking trough "beer-glasses" can fool the best of us. But against all odds, put toghether according to the factory manual from Wolfsburg, the pile of metalpanels is starting to look like a car. It can't be said enough, but this car is going to be a sick ride... Nothing beats an aged bordeaux =)

Progression all over


The garage "crew" is really getting warm, and the cars progression is visible everywhere you look. Fursten welded in his outer channel, after quite a heavy straightening job on the door sill.

He is also very happy with our newest tool, a mini-grinder. It may look as he has cut out all his teeth with this tool in the picture, but luckily that is not the case.... Did he mention something about buying a newer and rust free car next time??

Zwitter milestone


A personal milestone for Knechten was reached last night. One corner of the car is now welded rock solid. More details on the Zwitter Blog.... 1/4 of the welding job is done =)
