You're very welcome A few years ago,my pops had a (US spec,obviously) mid 80's Cabriolet,he traded a '75 Super Beetle for it and didn't like it,but I did,LOL! I thought about buying it,but was into mini-trucks and Mustangs then (had a pair of slammed S-trucks,and a '94 GT ragtop,LOL). Obviously (by my avatar,updated recently) I'm kinda getting back to my roots (that's my '04 New Beetle ragtop turbo I've owned just over a month),LOL!

(all I can say is...) Wow!!!

WOW,I'm LOVING this!!! AWEsome work so far,my friend!!!

2004 New Beetle ragtop Turbo (running Nuespeed P-Module,16psi of boost,CAI and turbo-back 3" free flow exhaust--lowered springs on hand/installed soon,and when th e16" tires wear out,going up to 18's the next tax refund season),only had it just over a month (was bone stock when purchased)... (dealer's pic from the online ad) And a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser with the right options for trail fun twice per month (factory lockers,etc) now running 33's without lift...

VERY nice build!

Looks great!

I'm loving this build! Just getting back into maybe starting to build again after 2-3 years out of the mood,and this is one of the kits that I picked up-can' twait to see more,looking great!

Wow,I saw this and had to do a double take--thought that it wasn't one of my old pics,LOL! I used to have a pc desk EXACTLY like that (that I bought at Goodwill),used for exactly the same purpose!

Very nice!

VERY nice so far,awesome scratchwork!

NICE!!!

Turned out really nice,my friend,great job!

That's a great looking Merc,nicely done

Chassis looks great!

Thanks for the info Sorry to hear about the grille issues (sounds like MY luck ),but looks like you got it well cared for

Really cool subject matter,very nicely built! Loving it!

I'm really diggin' it,my friend! You did a very nice job on it. Seeing more and more van builds here lately,makes me want to crack one open myself (and been thinking lots here lately that the replacement next year for my aging minivan orta be a full sized )

That's not necessarily a bad thing,that's one of my favorite kits!

Well it looks good to me too

Man I'm really diggin your build style and ingenuity! Awesome job on the grille (and yeah,I likes it better with lights too after seeing it),stance is awesome! So what exactly did you do there...cut away/open the wheel-wells and mount the suspention inside the body to BD it,or is there more to it (curious for the know how to do it myself )? Thanks in advance

Engine looks good,Brother! Looking forward to it ( "I will have more progress in a day or so...... :)" ),you're doing fine on it

I'm a HUGE Merc fan,and have built a few of these kits (a big fan of these kits too,obviously,LOL),looking forward to more,my friend,a big +2 on the off to a good start!

+2 on the looking cool! Man,I'd love to have a BD'd full size van to replace my mini-Merc Villager to haul my muddy mtn bikes around in

Body looks much smoother,nicely done! I'm loving this,makes me wanna crack open a van kit myself
