Here is a few pics I took while I had the digital camera I borrowed. The rust
looks bad but there are no holes except for a part I didnt get uncovered till
tonight. That part is the upper tailgate channel under the rubber seal. Some
leaves probably collected there and kept it wet for a long long time is all I
can figure. I am looking into sectioning out that part or another
alternative? So far the most fun was removing the fenders, the first one took
nearly an hour with a torch being used to melt the sealant.
This car is orginally from CA so all the structual parts are as sound as day
one. The floorboards and whole undercarriage are in excellent shape for a VW
in MN thats 22 years old. Three of my previous MK1 cars looked good on the
surface but rusted out from under me so I am very happy with this as a good
platform to work with.
feel free to ask any questions or offer parts :)
