Finally got to work on the Bug a bit the last couple of weekends. I replaced the rear quarter and patched the heater channel. I was also able to finish welding the pans in and got them bolted down. Moving along nicely, but slower than I would like. With oil over 100 bucks a barrel work doesn't really allow for much free time.
For a temporary fix I have been painting the patched areas with Red Oxide Primer which is actually a pretty close match. Still not sure if i want to paint the entire car. We shall see.
Thinking of keeping the car looking the same but slamming it and running some twists or something similar. I also want to get some "Recaro type" seats and junk like that. I have collected almost all of the parts to put together a pretty stout 2276 and may just focus on having a car that runs and handles well then figure out where I want to go with it. Besides if I want a car to drive around in that is all shiny I will just take my Camaro.

Guess I failed to mention that I bought a 2011 SS Camaro.
Here are a few pictures of the progress.
