Resumption...10 yrs later

I put the Speedster on hold. After 10 yrs of landlording, traveling, and helping daughter with her house I finally resumed construction. I bought 2 donor VWs a few years back and stripped one of them for parts last September.

I abandoned the Subie swap idea and decided to go with stock VW drivetrain for obvious cost reasons. The front suspension shock towers were badly rusted so I cut all the rot away and welded in some 2x3 x 1/8 wall HSS tubing. It was a tricky job but it's now bolted in place. Headlights and taillights were installed and with my wife's help I've begun working on seat upholstery.
