Bob's Bug - The Beginning of the End

Well, this past weekend, Bob himself arrived in Oshawa and started assisting me with his car. The weekend was action packed - full of working, spending, visiting, and eating. The only thing we were short on turned out to be pictures... Here's a summary of the work we completed:

-Body lifted, body to pan seal installed, body bolted securely and permanently to pan
-Steering box transferred from old front beam, tie rods installed, new steering dampener and steering coupler installed
-Rear brake backing plates removed, refurbished, reinstalled. Front brake backing plates (previously refurbished by Bob) installed
-Complete brake system overhaul including new master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, new hardware kits, new hard and flexible brake lines and grommets. Existing drums and shoes seem to be in good shape and were reused
-New front wheel bearings packed and installed
-New front windshield installed using new rubber seal (this was effortless!!)
-missing and rotten front fender nut inserts removed, new ones welded in solid
-Front fenders and new fender beading installed
-Rear fenders fully bolted in place
-new EMPI lowered front shocks installed
-new stock rear shocks installed
-seats installed
-wiring harness looked at by Bob and left for me!!!! Uh-oh, wiring is his specialty!!!

There are lots more updates to come in the next few days. This car needs to be saftied and running by the 19th of April. Tasks ahead of me include installing the new ceramic-coated muffler and heat exchanger kit, installing the transmission, modifying the new shift coupling to adapt the shift rod from auto-stick to manual, install and troubleshoot all wiring, bleed the brakes, install gas lines, install the engine and run it, get new tires installed, etc., etc., etc...
