Behind the Firewall

I've begun working on Ludwig for his big reveal. The first task was cleaning up the gas tank compartment, hopefully for the last time. That is some beautiful paint! I suppose because the sun has never shined directly upon it. Also, I didn't take any pictures of VW's sloppy work where coverage is spotty. 
I stopped short of waxing it, though I may still. 
Two hacks are visible in this picture, neither mine; one acceptable, one wtf?. 


Soundtrack for this work (not exhaustive):

The top one is for access, the one on the driver side looks like it was made for a BN4 heater.

Ludwig displays other evidence of having had an auxiliary heater at one time, and I've long suspected that that hole had something to do with it. It clearly wasn't installed professionally, hence my "wtf?".

He also used to have a dealer-installed air conditioner! I happily tore it out and pitched it on the scrap heap myself.

Alright,
Mitch.
