Does anyone have an exploded diagram of the thing sheet metal parts and how they connect ?
I searched but am only seeing for other VW models not Thing.
My front end needs a lot of love and with rust it's hard to see where the connection points are. I don't want to cut where it's not needed.

Have you tried contacting Mike at https://www.thingparts.com/ He probably has a diagram that would help you.

Wow thanks for that parts manual just what I needed.
I've been tinkering with things for years and have never seen that complete document.
Great stuff !
