Volkswagen modifications to do

Tweet

hello my volkswagen's pan is going to be finished soon (pan is equivalnt to chassis) now i'll be concentrating on other modifications to do to my loveable bug first off would be to install the aircon and take out the puny little fan inside the cabin next would be to widen the fenders here's how to widen your fenders you'll need a metal cutter, welding machine, markers and some luck remember to measure twice before cutting once measure the edge of the fender (where it meets the body) and mark off 2 inches all the way in the center... that's where you'll be cutting first after cutting it up place brackets between the parts make sure that there is an even 2 inch gap ok? next... from the edge of the wheel well to the center mark off an inch and cut there and place a 1 inch gap bracket now apply the strip of metal to close off the gap and start welding it this will effectively add 3 inches to the width of your fenders. now why is it 2 inches? so that you don't interfere with the bug's headlights and tail light hole. :D make sure to provide wider tires to match the look too make sure you use as little filler as possible metal is still the best material for a car's body i also have to change the car's tail light and weather strip it all around
