Nice combination, beige and brown. that's gonna look awesome!

Melvin 29-04-2005 20:46

beige and brown is sweeeet... the car too!! i even thought of that gasfiller idea once, but i'm not gonna use it... but, it's really original!!!

and uhm, your car can't even get any lower, so why you bought those things? will that even fit with the hood?

chrisjuh 29-04-2005 21:02

Wow speechless.......

He said in the Norwegian thread that when he uses them, he can adjust the KWs up a bit and have some suspension in them, and still have an extremely low car.

Melvin 01-05-2005 09:01

well that could work indeed...

sorry for the criticism ;) super cabby!

but how is he going to solve the front and rear window to be closed for water when the roof is closed?

The bar is removable ;) It is now in 3 pieces which I mount together.
When I close the roof, I install the bar again. Everything is in the the boot when the roof is open.

I have also solved the problem with the rear windows not being able to be rolled the hole way down.
When I open the roof you will not see any sidewindows at all ;)

Yepp.. that`s right. I will still have 30mm ride-hight but I will have some suspension. But for show I will drop the car to the ground ;)
I have to modify both sides in front to make more room for the driveshafts :D

Melvin 01-05-2005 16:34

are you going to remove the rear windows or what did you do?

p.s. when you have to remove lots of things it's not really for every day use... i really hate it when i can't just sit down and start to drive...

First of all.. this is NOT a "daily driver" ;) It is a showcar..and for those VERY nice days :D

I am making a "snap-off" solution for the windows. When I have the roof open I just switch place for the windows and put them back on the car "upside-down" ;) It will take me about 2 minuts to "transform" the car....

DrLaban 01-05-2005 16:48

more pix...
 
Almost ready for paint!! :D
The painter is doing an awsome job with my car.. Can`t wait to see it with paint. :cool:
























Thor Inge Hansen 02-05-2005 23:25

It is good that someone gives norwegian vw collectors and builders something to be proud of :)

Melvin 03-05-2005 08:17

oke, another point of criticism here:

why didn't you already cut out the metal behind your new gasfillercap? now you'll have to do it when it's painted right?

p.s. don't forget, i love your car :P

Richard 03-05-2005 08:27

looking good! always love to read project stories..

There isn`t a problem modifying this after I get the car back from paint.

Melvin 03-05-2005 11:28

that's like pimp my ride, cutting in a freshly painted car... you could better take that piece of metal out now... but hey, who am I ;)

great car!

DrLaban 03-05-2005 22:37

Finally!! Tomorrow my car is painted!!!!!!

I visited the painter tonight to look at his work. One word AWSOME!!!
This guy is a wizard!! Haven`t seen anything like this before.. :D

Melvin 05-05-2005 09:20

but I believe that's what this forum is for! criticism to learn! if I would post pictures of my car I would rather have honest criticism then people yelling: owh wow, that's great... wellll, a combination of these two would be great ;)

DrLaban 05-05-2005 19:10

Woke up early today...wonder why.... ohh YEAH!! I am going to pick up my cab today!!

DrLaban 05-05-2005 19:14

The car was supposed to be finished today, for a show that was held today, but Laban had to postpone this one week, becuase of pollen allergy. Next weekend is the national "VW-Audi Club Norwegen"'s annual main meeting, so he just have to have the car ready next weekend!

DrLaban 24-05-2005 09:11

Back in business!! :D

The doctor had a cure for my allergy probs.. last night I was working like a madman again..without any problems.

So this means that the car will be finished for the event this weekend :D

Some shots... tease tease



AIRRIDE!!! hehehe



The cab and all the friends :D
