A friend and I just purchased this project. Lots of bondo cracking on the outer lower pannels above the rockers. Cargo floor, jack supports and stringers must all be replaced. Neither of us have a welder to use but want to keep the costs down and do the work ourselves. Any suggestions on how to cut out the old bondo and rusted cargo floor to prep for welding? Thanks

08/30/02 Dirk Here's a trick for removing old Bondo that I picked up from a body repair tech. Use a torch and heat up the Bondo from behind, if you have access, then you can use a putty knofe and just scrape it right off. I had a bunch of old Bondo on the front of my bus, I couldn't get behind all of it, so I heated sooome up from in front, and it peeled right off. Please be careful not to set anything on fire, be aware of your suroundings, wiring and such, and keep a fire extinguisher handy.

12/07/02 Dad Gee you must have learned alot from your dad to be able to do this kind of work.
09/02/02 Carl Actually I have heard there is quite good surfing up here,They do alot in Yakutat.The water temp isnt much differant than the east coast,simular to New Hampshire.They actaully have a surf shop there!The guy who owns the bug came up here from Fla.kinda explains the surf board a little better.....
09/02/02 Carl The bug's not mine,so I guess I would prefer to drive the bus!
09/02/02 Julian Much surfing in Alaska? or is that a stupid question
09/02/02 Kral Which do prefer to drive ? The Bus or the vdub ? Must have been tuff to find parts for the bus. And this website is the BEST on the net. Almost like having religion
08/30/02 Carl (Anchorage)It was tough for a while to get parts.I ordered alot of stuff and got raped on shipping,but old VW's seem to be falling into my lap lately.
08/27/02 kral these krauters look good. where in alaska are you ? Tough to get parts ?
