1962 VW Split Screen Panel Van Restoration

So finally started on the Split Screen. I noticed the tax disc read 30/07/10!!! So shes been awaiting a while. Shes gather a little dust while being covered.

4 hours later we have all doors off, all glass out , all lights out, front bumper off, and all plywood floors out (50 odd wood screws straight through the floor!!)

GOOD NEWS no rust on windscreen frames.

 BAD News lower front is rotten all the way around, that and the pheasant post impact I think a new font lower clip is required.

 No near side step or lower A post.

 O/S front wing and entire lower previous repair panel gone.

 Inner cargo floor holed on O/S.

 Inner wheel arch N/S.

 Rear wheel arches look good.

 Showing use in floor ripples.

 My biggest worry so far. Chassis rail connection to front valace rotten. And front valance rotten too.

 O/S front inner valance,

 N/S inner valance.

There is more filler on the lower sections of this bus than there is metal!!!!!mmmmmmmm
