Update...

The car show at Thanksgiving Point last weekend was fun. Unfortunately, the swap meet was pretty thin on VW parts. There were some nice VW's at the show, though, from the local VW club (I believe), which got us enthused and motivated. The guy who we've planned on doing our body work was there with his Herbie bug. We gave him a heads up that we were getting close.

I also called the media blasters yesterday to get an idea of how much it's going to cost us to blast the body. They charge about $85 an hour and say it'll take about 3 hours. Once we have the body off and ready for blasting we'll take it down and get a real quote.

We spent this evening removing quite a few more parts. Here are a couple of pictures showing where we're at:






























I'm a little worried about the wiring and headliner. I think we can replace the wiring and get it all hooked up right with the proper schematic, but the headliner... there's got to be a trick to removing that thing. It's a mess.
