well with all of this nice weather, I am getting a chance to look at the tin alignment, and rear apron alignment. Looks like the apron is getting removed, and massages to fit correctly. With all luck, I can have the tin and apron solved all in one shot. Well, gotta go. I have to get to European Imports and get some exhaust gaskets.

I highly suggest European Imports, I got all of the exhaust gaskets for $12.00 including the donut ones that go between the heat exchanger, and the muffler  Chris |

Im thinking I am gonna get my VW up on jackstands, do the axle seals, and get the brakes in good shape for the season. Other then that, I still have a few finishing touches goin on to make her pretty. Although I am still up in the air about selling it, I think I am gonna throw some stock wheels powdercoated white on her too.

the bug selecta sucks, its not really a good rep of white, its more like silver. I might coat the stockers in bronze color??? who knows. I do like the stock black and white though.
