Beetle Dissection

 Finally decided to strip the Beetle, and was surprised how quickly they do.
 I thought I would trial undoing the floor pan nuts and then just got carried away.
 Body off, just jack up each end and support with beams across axle stands.
 Both rear corners are rather shot and the whole beetle is covered in crappy weld on plates, so I start working like an automotive archaeologist.


 Funny seeing a beetle as tall as a Split Screen!!!

 Tar and card board removal, using the peening tool and scraper. Just avoid heating up any under seal or tar.
 Laid out like an installation art piece.
Standing Room Only!!!!
