Engine Off Again
Now that I've determined
that the engine runs, I've taken it off to make working on the
body easier. Mike and I loaded it into the back of my truck and
have it stored at his house. My wife an I have an "agreement"
about VW parts in our house.

Covered Up
The car is now outside
in the fresh air for the first time. I'm a little funny about
keeping the chassis dry - even though it's coated with bulletproof
paint and completely sealed.

And Winter Returns
It took about 15 minutes
for the nice day to turn into a small scale blizzard. I double-tarped
the car and shook my head in disbelief.

Big Switcheroo
With the chassis outside,
the body could now go in the shop. I'll let the car dry off and
begin to sort out the next few steps in the operation.

Front End
Here's some pictures
of the body in its present state. Not pretty is it? This si the
front of the car with the hood up. It doesn't look too bad, but
the nose of the car is definitely in need of replacement.

Inside Front
The inner fenders
have been repaired and patched extensively. All these old repairs
will have to be removed so I can get the new parts in.
|
 |
 |
Inside Rear
This part of the car
is the biggest mess. The crossmembers are completely rotted out.
I've got new ones, but I'm hoping there is still something to
attach them too when all is said and done.
