Bay window nose job.
Picked up a new project to replace my Beetle. A pretty solid 74 Bus bought it from an older guy that had it on his farm for 25 years. It had one small obvious rust spot and after a thorough inspection forund a couple of other places that needed attention, just one area left to repair below the left rear window. I replaced the front panel since it was in rough shape and had been hammered out by someone that didn't know what they were doing. It was a lot of work to replace but worth the effort, it's taking shape and looking much better.

Re: Bay window nose job.
Got back to my project since I had a deadline, the Texas VW classic. made it barely finished the night before the event and left the next morning on a 600 mile round trip with a just finished conversion. Other than a bad oil leak I thought was fixed the trip went well made it home on it;s own power.

Re: Bay window nose job.
Nice ride. I assume you have a radiator under the floor?

Yes the radiator is underneath and works very well. Made some
Changes to streamline the air flow and dropped the temps a little more. I have it up for sale now moving on to another project.
