I would hate to see you scrap a perfectly repairable car because of rust. I did the entire pan halves on my car. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it knowing that you saved a Bug from the crusher. |
The heater channels are sitting under the bug as I type this. We've got most of the body panels that needed replacing but this bug is just out of my dad and I's skill. We're talking rust holes that go _through_ the shell, the channel, and the firewall!
The understanding that we have to weld in a cage to keep the body from warping while accurately cutting out and welding in new channels is just flat out daunting to a couple guys who really haven't done extensive body work before.
We've been thinking about trying to find a donor car from down in the southwest so we can build a Frankenbeetle.
Sorry to hijack... if you think its pertinent ggadgit I can post pics of our project as it stands right now.
