I was going to call you out on that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Great job your son is doing. You are winning in several ways....your son is developing an interest in older cars (which fewer kids have an interest in these days), you are teaching him a valuable skill, and the car is getting fixed!

***************UPDATE***********
My son finished the welding of the floor panels, here are two pictures: one with 1/2 of the job complete. The other with all of it. The front passengers was in good shape so we did not strip and paint it. Background: ’74 2.0 barn find, Replaced fuel system tank to injectors Replaced all vacuum hoses Replaced all other fluids Body – perfect, really, really good. THIS WEEKEND? Replaced Hell hole, longitudinal, floor pans. Started by cutting out the rust!

Good to see your son getting in ,so much on the internet to improve learning,my son went through it all ,gave him minimal help but he could never work out which way to work bolts,he didn't know how to work out clockwise or anticlockwise....funny considering that never changes. Now had IT degree and works on his own car ABF powered mk3 golf wagen ,proud Dad.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Yes those are some great welds! It's so nice to see a young person working on something in the REAL world as opposed to the virtual one. He is CRANKING that thing out! Is he going to paint it today and rebuild the engine tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ?? |

I wish I could get my 17 year old working on his project 914, only thing that motivates him is a paycheck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
He has a bonus 914 project and has bought all the panels, but he can't get (keep) going on the 914. He bought a real nice '82 Audi Coupe and will drive my pickup in the winter to school. He got his full licence (G2) last month, his driving test was a total joke. |

He can build one for <$100 with some 1x2's, a roll of plastic, sheetrock screws and staples. I used an old furnace squirrel cage fan w/ a $2 AC filter! Shouldn't take your son more than about 20 min's at the speed he works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

HA - my kid is motivated by driving this ride to school!
Seriously, if he is motivated by money - perhaps he will support you "in style" in your future years?!?! I spent a great deal of time in Germany and learned about their 2-day ride-along driver test (at least this is what I learned about within Bavaria), our driving test are pretty much a joke.
