Since this door is from a slightly earlier beetle, I had to fill in the old holes for the trim and relocate the just a bit higher.

The louvers are done on the rear fresh air intake. All the old paint was stripped off and the bare metal coated with some flat black paint for the in-term.

So the sandblasting worked pretty good. I was able to clear out most of the old paint inside the louvered air intake. I do have a little more work to do by hand with some sand paper, but I am definitely making progress.

I decided to go with this deck-lid. Someone at some point already stripped it down. It looks ugly but it’s in fantastic shape. No rust, dents, or bent louvers. I will give it a once over tomorrow and see how it cleans up.

The right rear fender has been fitted. I had to widen the bolt holes so I had more play for alignment. Now I need to patch up a couple cracks un the outside lip. Nothing too hard.

So the orange, red, and blue are all from my previous projects and tell a story. The white and stripped down deck-lids are just acquired over time. I am thinking of using one of those for Project #Super71 so I can keep the history of my VW projects on the wall.

Time for a couple of hours fitting the 1973 (Mexican) fenders on my 1971. Also time to pick a deck-lid.

Quickly put on the rear fenders. I am going to need to make some adjustments to the bolt holes in order to ensure everything lines up properly. As you can see I am going with 1973 Fenders on the rear end. It will be followed up with a 1973 deck-lid.

Filling in some holes. It’s not exciting but it needs to get done. I am leaving the two additional holes that provide access to the dual carburetors.

That’s all four fenders stripped down to the metal and ready for repairs.

It's been a long time since I have been out cruising in my Beetle. I can't wait to finish it.

Got some more work done on Project #Super71 tonight. The rough body work repairs are getting smaller, but they still need to get done.
