Look for rust-thru under the fenders: at the rear of the front fenders and the front of the rear fenders. This means rust into the interior, NOT thru the painted visible part of the fender itself. Check the brakes and brake fluid. They will probably have to be completely gone over. Look for gas leaks once you get it started. The old fuel hoses will probably all have to be replaced. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
