Movin' the needle...

 Progress on the GLI!

Finally, some progress!  With the bug ready for safety, I thought I'd turn my attention to the rotten driver's side A pillar.  I cut out the rot thru and grafted in a section of the Rabby's piece. (nothing gets wasted!) I then hosed the inner guts with some left over paint and closed it up.

Then I tacked in the scuttle piece and dropped in a cracked windshield and seal to check fit, aligned the hood and welded it home.

At this point, grind down the welds on the lip and seal it with, yet more seam sealer!  I think this will be tube #5 of seal sealer!!

Hope to have the GLI roof area primed and engine running by the end of summer.  Fingers Xed!  On to reversing the wiring hacks by the PO!  (yes that is a 14ga wire spliced onto a 10ga engine ground wire...FFS!)
