Re: [T3] Welding/Sheetmetal question


I was just curious how many (if any) people on the
list only got into welding and/or auto restoration in
general AFTER they got their VWs, specifically so they
could do restoration work on their cars?

Do people need to have been into bodywork/engineering
for years before taking on things like this or is
study, practice and TLC enough?

Study, Practice and TLC are certainly 90% of auto restoration.  I think most
people that do the work on their cars themselves have both a general love
for their cars and a lack of the thousands of dollars it would take to have
someone else restore these cars.  There isn't a whole lot that can't be
accomplished with a decent set of tools, some hard learned experience and a
few good manuals.  You also won't truly know or understand your car until
it's taken some of your blood (and some choice words).

Body Men and Engineers started somewhere too!  Jump in and just do it, worst
thing that can happen is that you have to take it apart and do it again :)
