Hello All,

Well, I figured it was time to start posting my project on these forums. I've dug into it pretty heavily, and although my updates won't come very frequent, they will eventually.

Here's what I have thus far...

http://74.95.223.137/vw/fastback.html

As you can see... what appears solid and clean from the outer skin really just hid a lot of rust and rot on the body. I've collected about 30lbs of rust chips and ungodly amounts of sand (There was enough sand behind the rear fenders to half fill a 5 gallon bucket!).

This is going to be quite a journey, and I'm already wondering if I should look for a more solid base to start my build from. The more I tear it apart, the more rust appears!!

I will be needing lots of advice and wisdom during this project. (Sarcasm, swearing, large quantities of alcohol, etc are all welcome and needed as well)

Thank you all in advance for putting up with the craziness that will be forthcoming.

Looks like a case for MD Anderson.

and alot of fab work ... do you have those skills ? if not you will!!!

Looks like you got your work cut out for you! Cool project though, I dig fastbacks!

I have some experience, but that car had fewer panels, and it's been a while!

Wow. That is going to be a project right there. Take your time with it and try not to get to frustrated with it. Keep the pics comeing though

Jinkees you do have a lot to do I don't know much about what it takes to repair it but if I can help you just tell me were to sand or were the corner store to make the beer run and I'm there
