a long overdue update

Oh, boy, I didn't update this one way too long - sorry!
In the mean time I did a few things to the Streaker, here is just some minor stuff:
The previous owner installed a lot of HiFi stuff in the beetle, so it was like swiss cheese in some areas to wire all the stuff together. He removed the door switches and routed some cables through those holes in the A-pillars - in the doors he simple drilled holes:

The problem is: After I re-installed the switches, they didn't work - the pin disappeard in the hole!
So, the dome light was always on - not good for the battery!
I took some highly polished stainless steel bits I found in the trash and used some 3M adhesive tape to fix those plates over the holes:

Another little job done!

I also painted the "tail" of the Streaker already and I am preparing the front bits currently. The front hood was a nightmare, but I think somehow I will manage to make it work...
More updates soon - I promise!
