Summer 2012: Beginnings

Some pics of what I'm starting out with:


 Inside rear trunk: Luggage tray speaker holes to be filled at Paint & Body


Luggage tray interior.


Interior with dash already disassembled.  Instruments are with Hollywood Speedo for a re-fresh.



90's era sports car seats were in the car when I bought it.  Though installation was a hack job, they worked out great since I'm too tall to fit in the car with stock seats.  Pan mods are in store to fit the car with 64 Karmann Ghia low backs.  


Under 1 coat of rattle can primer is the stock paint.


Body is pretty rough, lots of dents and different ages of bondo, but pretty much rust free.


Disassembly in full swing, pushed out in the sun for some decent "before" pics.


Engine out, compartment in 48 year old shape.




Rear of engine compartment (intake plenum).


Rear skirt is in really rough shape from having various aftermarket exhaust systems installed improperly.

.







Worst rust is found in the floor pan just behind the driver's seat.  Still no big deal though, no cutting will be necessary.











 One of many pages of notes!
