Dubfreeze - Sunday 17th February

Well, we did it!


It's only one of many deadlines that we have to meet this year but to get the Jagerbug to Dubfreeze as a rolling shell in primer was always going to be a challenge. Considering the shell looked like this at 11pm on Friday

After a long day of filling and prepping on Friday the shell was finally reay for a coat of primer just before midnight. Alex applied all the paint in his garage and it was great to see the car all in one colour for the first time the next morning.

It was a hectic Saturday morning reassembling the car. The Chassis was built up and a temporary gearbox hung in place. With the doors hung, bonnet and decklid back on, lights etc all fitted the Jagerbug actually strated to look like a beetle again! The decals on the side really made a difference.


Then it was onto the back of a trailer and over to Stafford for the car to takes it's place on display in the main hall at Dubfreeze. We were delighted to be displaying the car in here as originally it was booked into the show & shine! It was great to hear all the positive comments from people who had been following the progress of the car through the Volkszone forums ( http://www.volkszone.co.uk/VZi/showthread.php?t=399443 ) or in Ultra VW Magazine.



The car looked pretty cool on Sunday on display and we'd like to take this opportunity to thank VW Heritage and Street Style & Power as well as all our other sponsors for all their help so far in the project.



More updates soon as the project continues......
