Here is my bus in its sad state, has been in my driveway for 2 years like this.
I have built a carport over it and have started cleaning and will start cutting soon.

got this replacement corner from 'animal' also he sent a section to sort the part of arch i removed. thanks mate

can anyone tell me the best way to straighten the panel that holds the the engine lid hinges, if you can look closely on the rear shot it shows it kicking up on the right handside where that whole corner was messed up.

been trying my hand at panel beating, bit crap but hopefully will learn slowly.
have taken big dent out of front but left with the smaller 'oil canning' number you can see here.

also the line of front window on passenger side is bent if you look closely

replacement peice for arch

and finally question about my cargo doors, any tips on straightenting out bottom edge would be appreciated. van was dragged on ground without wheels at some stage and doors suffered.

Hey Luke

you could have pushed that corner dent out as vw steel is great to work with , atleast its easy to get to the spot welds once you get corner back on
