The Project Continues. UPDATED

[CalAltaDubber]

Well, I haven't said much latley about the project Cabby, so I thought I would pass along a couple of pictures of her progress.

I'm in no hurry, infact I don't even intend to send it out to the body shop much before the fall. Here she sits in the garage.


I cleaned up the hood last week end.


I have scrapped all the bondo off, to find that there isn't much rust.


Here is a shot of the right rear, a little more corrosion here, but at least it is only surface rust.


I will have to replace both fenders. I thought the right side was good, but the lower corner is too badly corroded.

Remember Save The Bunnies.

Actually I'm planning on shaving the door handles altogether.

This is my second, Topless Bunny shares the garage with this one.

Looks like you are putting some hard work into her. Keep it up. Not much has been going on at TRF HQ. Crabby Cabby is still running great, my rocco hasn't seen any work time as we've just been too busy. Rocco #2 is running like a top and as always the jetta trudges on.

Sort of looks like mine! Except my body panels are still in place, lets see if I can get it running soon!

How about some pictures of yours Ryan?

Well you have heard me going on about the door for Project Save a Bunny, so I figure i'd show you what I have been up to.

Here is the first door I bought. I was grinding away and found it full of Bondo. Did I say that I hate Bondo?


Here is a close up.



So from there I found a new door. This one had no glass, but at least it is all metal!



Once I cleaned the shattered glass out and rescued glass from the other two doors here is what I have.


So on to installation,

First get the old door off.


Next the new door.


Add new fenders (Another tale for another time). I just bought two new ones. Note: there are no holes for marker lights



Here is the side view.



I now just need to trim up the fenders, pull the engine and remove the windshield and it's off to the body shop.

I have been working on the shaved door handles, but I will show that later.
