Well its been a while since i have updated this. I took a could of months off from the van, I was working on another project, a house for my father so it was only the middle of October when i got back to the van. I have been doing lots of small jobs not much that looks good for picture but essential to rebuild the van. This week i got a few big jobs done, the main one is the AAZ engine is now in position, its not wired or plumbed yet but i only got it in Friday then the big freeze happened and its just too cold to be in the garage at the moment. i started putting the front of the van together, got the front light bar on, the SA grill, the clear indicators, i haven't put the top grill on yet as it will need to come off again to bleed the cooling system i got my wheels on too, the tyres will need to be changed for commerical tyres but it will be fine while i'm rolling it would the garage. you can also see the side bars i made up in the photo above i also started making up the door cards, i have the front two made, i still have to make the rear two so i think thats where i am at the moment, the finish line is getting closer but there is still a lot to do oh i also got the the van completely rewired, took all the old wiring loom out, put in a diesel loom, remote cental locking, immobiliser, bluetooth car kit and sterio system, as well as wiring in my front lights and rear load bed lights

hi new member i have 68 bug needs a lot of work but will get ther all so have mk2 escort puting acoswort 2 lt turbo in it
I haven't touched the car in a month or so now due to family distractions tonight I got the chance to put some primer and paint on the parts I degreased, cleaned and sanded in preparation for paint weeks ago. They are engine parts, the air filter housing, the cam cover, timing belt cover etc. The timing belt cover is not the stock '73 Audi 80 item, it is from a similar era Audi 100 1.6. I used it as it has the VW and old Audi logo pressed in and it looks cooler than the plain un-logo'd one from the Audi 80 1.3 engine. so, a small update but that's about all that's happened in the last month or so.
