I really don't understand how people that use photobucket can't post pics in the forums. All you have to do is copy and paste the link.

You're asking about A Pillars yet neither of your pictures are of the A Pillars. What are you trying to find out here???

Fixed it for ya :wink:
The lower A pillar isn't made for bay's, either you'll have to create your own once you have the doglegs or see if you can make the Klassicfab one for splittys work.
The inner and intermediate rockers are available although the quality is sketchy, better than nothing which it appears you have now.

Top pic looks like the A pillar to me, looking from where the signal light would be.

Hey Ben. Is that first picture the lower nose section? If so this panel can be purchased here:

Anyways, if you checkout Ratwell.com you will find a list of vw vendors that sell body panels. Their websites will help you find the correct names for parts you are in need of. Searching this site will also give you the insight you need to complete your project. Busdaddy was spot on about the lack of quality with many of the available panels, but it is better than nothing in most cases.

Good luck with your project!

THe drivers side inner rocker needs to be replaced, in the picture above. Do i install a slip in because my outer rocker is good or do i cut my outer rocker and install and install a full weld in, all your help would be great
