Do you ever listen? He backed into me...not my fault here.
Also, if your baby's horn worked, this never would have happened. Just saying.

Love to see some friendly young banter. Gives me hope for the future of our VW relics.

There might be a spare lens in the rear. Check the red box.

Gerson piece was easy to manipulate and fit well. I am very pleased with his product...now only one spot needs body filler, and the nose of course. Then primer and paint right after.
'tis a proud and noble beast
beginning to weld it in
almost done! I thought this photo was classy.
and of course, the result of $100 and a good friend

If anyone wants to trade me, I've got a nice chrome early bay emblem and I'm looking for a late bay emblem that still has the tabs and everything so that I can put it on. PM me if you're interested at all.

Priming the bottom half tomorrow, then comes the paint. Does anybody have a windshield they would be willing to part with? Mine is cracked and has pieces of peeling off of it. Please PM me if you're local.
