my first splitty
here is my first vw splitty, picked it up last week for an absolute steal($500) as a resto project. The more i pull it apart the more bloody rust i
find. It was sitting in a paddock in goulburn for a while, hence the reason it rusted, but should be a good thing buy the time i am finished.Tell me
what you think or what youu know about it or any good ideas.! |

e-mail as many pics as you want dude. I'll re-size them and post them for you, if you want?
*side note* I'll be going out in about an hour, won't be back on until sunday prob.
Depends on what program you use. If you're just using the standard "paint" program; go into "image" then
"attributes" and you should be able to resize it from there (this is on windows XP).
Failing that, goto the "new members" part of the forum, they'll be able to help you better than I can.

making images smaller
right click on pic, open with paint, click image,then click sketch and skew, horizontal = 30 vertical = 30, Should be about 6' x 3' on your
screen, try that

Looks all right you lucky bugger! Some of us would love a splitty but have to settle for a bay! PS - Your sister in law is a bit of a spunk!

Best Idea I can think of is to send PMGBUS
a u2u about his rust repair panels.
they fit and they're local.
make your rustoration a whole lot easier. 
Most people seem normal, till you get to know them.
