lifted body enough to replace passenger side heater channel , wow what a job ...
picked up some caliper brackets to convert drums to disks onto front arch , cutting out patch that was already there started on prep wings for rattle can satin black should buy new wings , but time is free ( sort of ) wings covered in surface rust underneath , right mess trying to wire brush them off.

all new brake parts have arrived , i do have two daughters so have a spare , but i should be sensible and make sure brakes are 100%
also converting the front to discs started on the drivers heater channel , they are a pain to cut out ... found a coke bottle in the heater channel pipe , guess someone did not need heat also rear cross member needed replacing got bored of cutting , so painted a rear quater next day , back on heater channel , got it in and positioned good , (checked door fit ) and a rear quarter repair panel going on . end of weekend now , hope to get body bolted back down again this week. and then onto mechanicals / rust at very front of car.

important job , paint windscreen wipers , makes me feel like i have done something
did not get down to beetle this weekend , so spent the day working on the wings had some real problems with primer re-acting , so think i will have to re-do them later on. repaired some rust holes , and for the first time used a block of aluminium behind the metal when filling/welding holes .. WOW , makes it so much more easy , god knows why i never used that before! anyway .. wings all painted for now. also bought a steering wheel of ebay , and missed out on a stainless roof rack ( was painting the wing )
