Roofs can certainly be hard to fix, but a rusted out underside is probably even worse. The problem is partly that if the roof looks good then it's fine, while the underside really has to be right or it will leak and your investment will be destroyed. Most bodyshops are good a making visible parts look good, but less capable with making structural parts strong and leak tight. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
