Strip down of the Kombi begun this week.
Apart form the back end, the rest was as expected... so far so good. Not pictured are the front door skins and frame and rear lower quarter. Fortunately the wings and front panel can be saved. Rear end Had noticed the rear side windows where leaking, they didn't stand a chance down there. |

Hi ya
Go luck with the restro I will follow how you progress through the stages One bit of advice I can give you is take the car off that ramp you will do more damage on them style and two poster ramps they ok for modern cars but NOT classic cars you can twist the chassis and anywhere that's rotten will just give And those jacking points are well known from rotten internally so don't bank on them supporting car just seen it happen so many times even seen a garage put a mgb in air for it crumble within minutes and it was twisted up so bad it had to be jigged the owner was not happy I would imagine so four poster ramps are the way forward that's all I use and would never revert to anything else even with a modern as they can rust just as bad from what I have seen. Good luck and keep us posted Kind regards Robert.w
