Living on a dirt road sucks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

Not to mention doing a restoration in the other part of the garage! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Nose needs minor attention

Send it up to Canada to Mike!!!

He and his buddy just did my friends total dog beetle for a couple of grand (Canadian) and it looks like new!!

HE IS TOTALLY USED TO THIS KIND OF SHIT!!

You should see the turds this guy turns into perils. Rust is normal up here.


That site I gave you, his E-mail isn’t working, if your interested phone Mike direct.

I will probably update Mike’s site myself some time over the winter, as Mike is a total ‘puter dweeb. (Hey ya gotta help friends, don’t ya) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

The rust under the dash, behind the windsheild...

IMO it was caused by the PO having a crap windsheild installation. There must have been a caulk tube worth of butal sealant pumped in everywhere. Some areas were not sealed well and allowed water to travel to that position and sit.

I have the same issue under my gas tank and was wondering about how to go about repairing it. I would be interested to hear how you do yours. I think mine is from water getting in under the cowl area and running down under the gas tank. There is a big whole right underneath the cowl area I have to repair.

Money? Ha. I'm just like the rest of you. Never enough. This is the $300 per month budget plan.

Time? Ha. What time. I'm lucky to put 20 hours a month into it.

I have been accumulating equipment and tools for 25 years.

I have made some custom cuts from some donor cars heading to the scrap yard.

It just keeps turning into more and more work.....


The plan? What plan?

1) make templates out of acetate sheets to cut out repair metal
2) figure out how to bend the proper radius for the longitudinals.
2a) Bend and fab replacement metal.
3) repair longitudinal (front portions) first
4) repair smaller areas as time allows.
5) Ignore during DEC-FEB. Consider moving to different house with BIGGER Garage.
6) Fab Passenger Area in front of floor pan
7) Fab box for fuel lines - I'm planning (at least at this time) to use bulkhead fittings and steel braid lines.
8) Find custom cut for Master Cylinder area
9) Repair Driver side in front of Floor pan
10) Install Floor Pans.
11-999) Repair rest of car.

I'm thinking this is a 3 year project.

More photos of the horror soon.

Found rust bucket '73 2.0 in Taylortucky.

Motor, Trans, swaybars, wheels were the good major parts.

Did have some useable sheetmetal.
