Update 27 Aug 2002
In this last series of pictures I have place the body back on the pan one more time. I noticed that without the engine in that it looks way too high in the rear. I will need to readjust the rear spring plates to bring the rear down some. The front beam is set at its highest point, and I have a new beam to install still. But as you can tell I have gotten my first heater channel inplace. Not bad for a first time try. I layed the old rusted out heater channel next to the car to show the difference. I am amazed at the difference in the way it looks. It was some hard work but it all paid off in the results. I went ahead and put some seam sealer on the inside if the front quarter. I will paint this area over again to further seal out any moisture that may try to get at my repairs. The inside rear quarter panel is completed also. It is sealed and painted, but it too will get another coat of paint along with the rest of the interior
That is all the updates for now. So it will sit like this for 3 months while I am away. I have to go overseas on a delpoyment and I will return late November. I plan on getting another VW when I return to have a second car. Then when this one is completed I will have another project to work on. Enjoy and be safe!
