Great to see international garage build and looking forward to seeing more of the Dubs!

Back in high school friend had '69 VW fastback (think it had 1300 cc engine with some power improvements) and we had lots of fun with stoplight to stoplight drags surprising quite a few! One day, went against sleeper SuperBeetle with 1600cc engine and got dusted!

Keep the pics a coming.

Very cool - you are going to be one HAPPY VW'er when she's up!!

I have a 2919cc engine with a BIG turbo for the Ghia.
The bus will have a 2500++cc Weber IDA engine when it's done .

But all of this is far away, need to do the garage first.

The engine case is a "waterboxer" from a late VW transporter, it's made aircoold. The case is bigger and swalows a 90mm crank and 101,6mm cylinders is "no" problem with that case.

 

[max2919]

Need to get the snow out of the garage.

 

[max2919]

Covering the roof.

A nice winter day!

Thanks, once the garage is up I need to see build picks of that engine and Ghia

 

[max2919]

Coold but fun!

 

[Omphaloskeptic]

Beautiful looking country!

Glad to see the snow hasn't stopped build of the VW home.


P.S. - Is the English translation of 'Uppsala' mean 'Frozen Nose Hairs'? lol

We realy don't se this amount of snow every winter but I like it, it's to dark without the snow.

 

[max2919]

Roof insulation, NOT fun!

 

[max2919]

We call it glesa here in Sweden. It's for the drywal.

The term used here is "strapping". Usually 1" x 4" boards.

 

[max2919]

Strapping done!

Now it's time to insulate the walls.

 

[andyaus]

Nice 1, i'm look7ng forward to seeing this come together ...andy...

 

[max2919]

First layer insulation in the walls are done!

I came to this thread to check out the "wind paper". . .wow! Very cool.

So, what do you finish over the wind paper with? At this point your garage is vulnerable to anyone with a pair of scissors. . .

It will have the same like the house,

 

[SiGmA_X]

I too came to check out your windpaper, you have quite the beautiful house, and soon, garage!

 

[VWPORSCHEGT3]

did i just see this on the samba?

 

[John in OH]

Any recent photo updates on this build?

I've been to Stockholm and Borlange several times. Sweden is a beautiful country! Hope to get over there again sometime.

 

[max2919]

Life is not how you plan it...
But now it's time for the garage

 

[sjkonk]

Can't wait to see progress on the VW's. I have a mk2 Jetta

 

[max2919]

 

[dubber]

Seems like my kind of place Good luck with the completion, its looking great!

 

[Twiggss]

YEAH, another aircooled VW person on here! My 2nd garage is the one for one of my VW projects, it is 16 x 22. right now it looks like this:

16x22 and the car is in sideways.

As a fellow VW nut I always figure garage size by how many I could fit.

standard 2 car would = 4 VW's

 

[max2919]

One more VW for my garage!
Happy new year!

The Barndoor is under roof for the winter.
I'l start the drywal this spring

 

[Bempa]

Looking good, how big is the garage? A lot less snow this winter to deal with.

[max2919]

Sad to call it winter... Not even zero degre at night?!
