just got through the thread. looks like you've made quite a bit of progress. I appreciate having access to the pictures, as I am working on my 73 as of two days ago.
Question: earlier in the thread you mentioned an issue with a replacement door and the trim clip holes not lining up. I am facing the same dilemma. the drivers door on mine is in fantastic shape, although wrong, but I don't want to look for another door. did you address this issue yet?
I think I know the answer to this question but I don't want to face it...

I'm thinking the wide trim may cover up the wrong holes..but either way...some drilling of new holes will be necessary

thanks for the offer brother...but I got my heart set on some blades...i could even use early bumpers and I'll just roll them naked... "fake blades" if you will
I am interested in getting another interceptor wheel... the one on the driver rear ...the clear coat is peeling 
you got any of the ones that were on your bug left hanging around ?

Naw, I wish I did. I got rid of those a few years ago, I'll keep an eye out for you , tho.
How much would it cost to redip one wheel?

| Man you have got to be kidding me about your birthday was Monday and you turned 30. Believe it or not, mine was Monday and I turned 30. Too weird...you live in LA, I was born and raised in LA, you have a yellow '73 as I do too and we were both born on the exact same day. Sounds silly I know but it's kinda freaky. |
that was last year
happy B-day to you too bro...just bustin' your balls
