Nice job in correcting the rust. Good job on your discipline to keep at it.

That's not true. Everyone on this forum enjoys seeing good pictures of work being performed on a VW, especially good work like you're doing. You'll find as you update your thread that sometimes folks comment on an update and other times they don't. Use your thread as a log or journal of your progress.
Keep up the good work.

i can still pull it away from the inner rocker to get to the pillars on the inside with the spotwelder
trial fit of the dogleg, seems to be manageable. but i will first weld the side and front wheelwell completely to have good access and keep structural integrity of the b-pillar
stay tuned

Those spot welders are real time savers. I wish I had one of the new body shop spot welding machines!
These machines also allow you to spot weld panels w/out double tongs. You push the panel into the support and it spot welds it.
The are pretty cool.

Well done on all your work so far, I'm impressed! You really have brought this bus back from the dead.
