Well done, dude.

Amazing stuff Wade!

Show no mercy

IF you've got that much skill, commitment and motivation to pull this off (and I'm not doubting you do)
you DESERVE a way better shell than this to work on!
the time saved body work can be spent on
maybe a mid mounted engine the options are endless and a lot more fun i would think as it is a dreadfully long road to go down before you get to high filling and painting at which point you still only have a ((patched up golf))
Were all seriously admiring your effort that for sure! Good Luck !

hey mate, i was sort of thinking the same thing? i'm sure you could find a better condition shell which doesn't need to be cut into 100 pieces? as mentioned above, takes a lot of effort/skill/commitment to pull off what you're doing.

cheers

HA HA dude i just browsed your other threads and seen this come up elsewhere
Ive probably totally missed the point of this...Have Fun

Shell is a whole lot more corroded than what you mentioned Wade, but the stuff is here to fix it bud. Soon have you miggin up that thin tin mate..

Yea guys i do realise the magnitude of the work and its not bothering me. Thats part of the process and you dont learn anything doing things the easy way. Ive seen people resurrect much worse beetles and kombis...

[GOLFBALLS]

Dang. After a weeks or two of consideration, this rust IS bothering me!
...and something came up for sale in much better nick for a project base, and much more unique. I've been flirting with the idea pretty hard...

The thing is, this will be my THIRD failed attempt at rebuilding a mk1 if i bail out on this build.

Here is the "other woman"



















To end up perhaps something like this????

[Preen59]

tough decision, mate..

[gecko2k]

slammed on some nice BBS this would be swiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Still a hard decision to make...
