Dont feel bad about the VW symbol drilled in to the muffler baffle...

After the type 4 was fitted in my '67 ,I modified a stock type 4 exhaust to fit, by cutting the ends off and recapping them with the centres out of beetle hub-caps....

ps ...Not sure if anyone else has asked..but..Whats your real name..?
If we get to catch up at DOVW ,dont want to be saying "G'day GFresh..."

Are you going to trailer it or get a temporary permit for DOVW...?
:D

That sounds excellent, George.
You should start making them for people!
Mind you, aren't you going to have to work out how to seal the engine bay in yours? :D

Modifying Tinware

Post by GFresh »

Made a cardboard template today for the rear valance

I will have to sort out the area around the muffler as I go

not sure if I should run it behind or in front yet :roll:

see if I can fold up some sheet metal in the morning :)

a few more exhaust mods to come this week end and bit of luck that will be finished.

then onto some custom mirror work

Slowly coming together. :D
