If you look carefully in each corner you can see the electrical connections for the heating element. When connected up, they'll fold over and tuck into the air vents in the bottom corners of the window frame to be neatly hidden.

New wing mirrors installed, plus the chrome trim for the windscreen. This was even more difficult to install than the other windows due to the heated front windscreen. We found that because the heated windscreen is laminated it was slightly thicker than the standard windscreen. This made it harder to install the chrome trim into the window rubber. In fact this is a second window rubber as we damaged the first trying to install the trim. In the end we removed the windscreen, installed the second window rubber, then the chrome trim while it was out of the car.

Then we attempted to install the windscreen. This was then more difficult as the chrome trim is meant to push out the rubber to hold the windscreen in place. However some VERY gentle taps with a rubber mallet around the edge of the windscreen helped ease it into it's correct position. If you're ever thinking of having a heated front windscreen, I'd recommend you use cal-look window rubbers and not deluxe as we have! Also in this picture you can see that Kerry has been busy connecting up the new wiring loom, and that the front indicators have been installed ready for testing.

Bea's spends some time on Kerry's ramp allowing us to bleed the brake system and install the engine. First of all though, we had to install a new firewall in the engine bay before fitting of the engine could begin. Here you can see the engine supported on a trolley in between the ramp. While Kerry gently guides the engine into place, Dale lowers the ramp. Much easier than struggling at home with a trolley jack and axle stands!

Here's the engine installed along with the new firewall in the background. The fuel tank stills need to be installed, and the electrical connections and throttle cable need to be connected before we can test run the engine. Oh yeah, we need to put in some fresh oil too!

As the new wheels are still being polished, Rosey fits the old wheels so that there are no delays in getting Bea MOT'd. You can see the difference between the new body colour (VW Lemon Yellow), and the old body/wheel colour (VW Banana Yellow)

More sound deadening, seat back, and rear parcel shelf fitted. Don't worry there's some speakers to go in those holes in the parcel shelf!

Wiper arms and blades, fitted and adjusted. Also a new radio aerial fitted. In the background you can see another customers project for Kerry, and Bea's bonnet hanging on the wall. Directly behind Bea on the wall is another example of the quality of Chris the painters handiwork.
