It is long since I updated, but because of school work and exams started, I didn't have time to update. I got the beetle back about 4 weeks ago. I worked on it at a workshop, where they sprayed it. I am busy now with the wiring and rooflining. I am doing everything myself, so progress is very slow. Didn't know the rooflining was that dificult
Here are some pics:

Almost finish with the spray job
