The chassis

Introduction

The chassis (rear) of the 1972 VW Beetle. After separating the body and chassis, only the floor-pan with the wheels remained. The floor-pan was in fairly good condition, with only a few minor spots requiring repair.

The chassis (front) of the 1972 VW Beetle. At the bottom you can still see a piece of metal strip with which the stove flue was "repaired" by the previous owner.

Painting the underside of the 1972 VW Beetle chassis. After a thorough cleaning, the chassis was primed.

Painting the top-side of the 1972 VW Beetle chassis. I used different colours in the different layers of paint so I could see where I left off with the painting.

The complete reassembled chassis of the 1972 VW Beetle chassis. After the painting was finished, I reassembled all the parts.
