I will be keeping an eye on this project. Always wanted to restore/rebuild a bettle now i can see what it would take

 

[keyring]

Yes I will

Thanks very much!

Photo please

you might regret asking for that

I never did like the the front end, now people say it looks like a nova (not that I care what others think)

and just trying to t cut a scratch out

 

[vw1]

I think you will need more T-cut boss

 

[optima21]

ohh the T cut does work

a bit of gentle persuasion with some 50mm box section tease the panels into the correct place

and a bit of hammer and dolly work, I was pretty impressed with the results (Im easily pleased),

but I also managed to get a repair section on ebay for £15 that I didnt end up using.
