Finally got the donor panel removed. Started cutting it to shape. Just a few more cuts left and it's time to butt weld the quarter panel back on. Starting to look more like a car again

Scammer gets scammed lol. I drove 4 hours to pick up this 66 parts bug. The pictures looked great but this thing is TOAST. I ended up talking the guy down to 400 bucks. All the fenders are done for. Same with the doors and glass. The one good part on it is the decklid and it needs some work. I might be able to re work and use the passanger front quarter panel. Oh well.

The mig welder in my service truck did that while driving. My solution was to store the welding gloves in there, wrapped around the (larger) spool Idea

I placed a rubber band on the spool. No more birds nest, when things go wrong. Thumbs Up

Nah the feed motor is dying and the clamp for it won't grip the wire. And they discontinued this model eastwood
