Body Issues
Hi Guys
I have picked up a 1971 Superbug that at some point was made into a convertible. The guy who had it before me replaced the floor and heater channels
and appears to not have braced the body properly. So the passenger door has to be shut quite hard as the gap at the rear is too tight. Whats the best
way to rectify this properly? |

I would give up now
You will need to get this engineered to get registered and the effort required will not be worth the return
You can buy engineered chops with previous history for a couple of grand
You will spend that undoing what some muppets done
Unless you are an unemployed steel fabricator looking at filling in time and your uncle is a DMR Engineer with a VW parts shop it is a dead project
Futue te ipsum!!!

Should have added it is registered as a convertible vehicle as far back as the paperwork I have goes. its not a barn find and has been driven most
weekends by the last owner. Floor was replaced about 5 years ago. |
