Hi I thought I would post up my new project I just picked up. The plan is to take the body off and start fixing the rust. It's not too bad for its age. started pulling it down today, it was someones old project that didn't get done so most of it was already pulled apart. I got about 90% of the parts with the sale and the body has been bare metaled, most of it anyway.

Excellent, enjoy. By the looks of your garage, you will be fine with the repairs.

Keep photo updates coming 👍

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Cool... Looks like you're gonna have to go pretty low to get those wheels under 👍
