Not sure of the bolt count, but it's sure to be the number in your bolt bucket + 1 or 2. ;-) Don't miss the bolts that go down to the top of the shock towers on the rear subframe. I'd remove the doors, if only to get them out of the way and make the body lighter. In fact, I'd pull everything you possibly can before separating the body from the pan, doors hood, fenders, glass. You'll have to pull the gas tank and separate the steering column, so you might as well pull the whole column, too. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pitch in!
