ok so had the oops...... got the parts now i start with work here are some of the pictures i took last night. I just bolted off the old bonnet. and fitted the new one. I had to remove the lockpin because the middle Fender(garder or something) Is still dented in. Because of that the lockpin and the hole doesn't align. Going to Derust the fender tonight.

yellow mellow - hahaha ja im doing that now haha. but the black bonnet gave a an idea for a new paint job. so the work is just piling up.

calooker - yeah i know. im to scared to strip it off. who knows whats under there. Hopefully a pot of gold :lol: . will strip it down and see what the real damage is. Think i should just fill it up again.

BUGGOFF - That sticker is going to go off tonight!!!! will replace it with a beetle club one someday when my bug is worthy.

busy grinding down all the old paint off the fender. will post pictures tonight. here is some before pictures.

hey Ferdi, been going through all your projects. you do gr8 work. Just tolk bugspray that im just going to spray the parts that got damaged for now. then i will save up for a decent spray job from you. Think a quick spray will keep it from rusting for nou. and the beetle is my only wheels at this moment. the bike is already in for a respray. so gotto wait for that before i can let the beetle stand for a few months. so going to save up and then redo the hole thing.
