[T3] New 66 Squareback

["Mike Sweeney" <mdpsweeney@attbi.com>]

Hi all.... 
Just wanted to say hi and tell you about my new car. She's a 66 Type 3
Squareback, color Blue and rust, and a ton wrong with her.  I am worried
about the body work, it scares me BIG TIME. The mechanical end should be
easy, as I work on new VW's and I am confident that I will have no
problem getting her running.  As for the body, the heater channels are
gone... floors rotted around the front of the right heater channel <yes
I can see the ground>, and the battery tray is gone.  Even though the
body is in rough shape, I really love the car, when I saw her I fell in
love. :-) <kind of sick hugh?>  I do have one question, can I buy new
body steel or should I call a bone yard out west for parts?  Like I said
the body is scary but she will be great when I am done.  Thanks in
advance all.  

Mike
