Joachim and I had the plan to restore two Jubi Beetles in 4 days. We started when Joachim came form Berlin where he´s living - on the 20. August 2003 at 22:15.

We had to order several new parts to fulfill this plan.

Jochi already removed all the seats - we don´t know on what he´s sitting but it seems like fun...

Now we had to remove the engine.

Ise is helping Jochi to remove the floor pan from the body.

At 0:22 in the morning the floor pan is released after two hours of work.

After we could get some sleep we had to remove the thick tar layer from the floor pan.
In the background you can see my Sunroof Beetle waiting for the same procedure.

You see the floor pan of both Beetles.

Ise was a big help when she removed the rests of the tar with thinner.

Horst and I beated out the floor pan.

A typical picture of Horst: His favorite job the spot-wise welding.

I am sealing the welding seams.

The base coated part like the front axle and it´s axel legs.

Jochi shows us an axel leg with pressed in link.

The floor pan becomes black.

After 4 days of hard work we had to stop. We stored the bodys in my garage. They had to sleep there until June 2004.

The zinced screws and nuts for the front axle.

The floor pan is waiting for the engine.

The Beetle is on its wheel´s again is waiting for the body.

The wedding: The floor pan and the body become one!

Now they get fixed.

To fix it I used stainless steel bushings (special made).

The fenders get fixed.

First time it looks like a car again and is in good company!

Looks nice! but the seats and the roof interior missing....to be contiued!
