I am more than a couple of years into my restoration of my ‘73 1.7 (now 2.0) but did not want to bore everyone with the same old stuff you have seen before. However, I am very thankful that many members here, take the time to post there work in detail. I have followed Brent’s (bbrock) post and have used many of his examples. In fact, I have adopted his idea of painting the trunks, cabin, underside first and now am doing the exterior panels. However, I do not have the cojones to paint mine myself.
I am getting close to having the car ready for paint. Once I finish this I will get the car back to a roller so I can flatbed to the paint shop. I want to use my old 4 lug Fuchs to sent to the paint shop and not my nice 5 lug Fuchs. This is where I need advice, I sent my 4 lug hubs to PMB to be converted to 5 lug and also purchased the kit. Since I no longer have the 4 lug hubs, what would be the easiest way to accomplish this. I know Ivan purchase a pair of 4 lug hubs, just wanted to make sure I am not missing something easier. Also, I want to know if I can install the stub axles without the axles just to get it to the paint shop. There will be no engine in the car. I want to use these wheels to take to the paint shop And not these Cheers, John |

And like so many others, enjoying your build, keep up the great work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Can’t wait to get a ride in that beast! i had the same thing happen during reassembly, got a ding on my door and around the windshield while putting the trim on , i learned a few lessons about taping and paint protection, almost impossible to not get a scratch or bump at some point, its going to happen anyway right? great job on that column ! i did the bearings a couple years ago too, they were both original and needed it badly!. I cruise thru Jax and St. Augie once and a while and would love to stop by and take a look at your car if it works out. Might be going down to Daytona to see my daughter and son-in-law holloween weekend and go to daytona cars and coffee, so if your going to be around, let me know! @Morph914 |
