G'day here is progress on the SCab thus far..
Replaced;
Inner and outer sills, Front outriggers and parts of tophats front and RH rear, Treasure chest floor patches, Tank supports.
Repaired; Damage on long side and damage on roof.
As is always the case, the more that is removed, the more crusty suprises are found..although too bad.
Here is a few pics....

Hey thanks fullas
Matty, all panels are made with zinc coated sheet, great for repelling the rust that bit better..
And yes I plan to retain the weathered, super ratty look for now, maybe just blending new rust repairs into the dove blue.(Or whats left of it!

No Show, I'm thinking a nice shade of Ankor wax, or even Lanolin?
Both great colours but can't quite make up my mind!

I tried to have a look under the type 2 and type 1 colours on the Samba but couldn't find Ankor wax or Lanolin. Are they VW colours?
I'd love to see an example of each if you have something.
