Blood, sweat but no tears.

An old volkswagen tradition.
Battery tray welded in and all those welds ground down.

Tailgate widow sill treated, upper surface of rear valance treated.

Windscreen lower rebuilt with fiberfiller, still need loads of tlc but I only need to worry about the outer curve to set it correctly.

Original screen back in on old cut rubber....the leading edge of rubber needs to just sit over most of the repair work.

Just fiberfiller and primer.......starting to look convincing.

All welded, ground and sanded, then primered. Patina looking strong.......still yet to panel beat.

Wow shes had a real, rear whack at some time! Original stock replacement rear valance after crash I think.....still has original red paint.

All in all, very solid , if a little rippled!! It wouldnt take much filler to look "Bling"
