hey there, heres some more pictures. i know its not perfect but this whole project had to fit into my 17 year old, 10$ an hour budget

. but Its coming along nicely, i bought all new rubbers and seals ( i wish someone would have told me it was a bit#h and a half to but a winshield in). The headliner peices are getting cleaned and kinda fixed up, then im putting in wood panels for the interior that me and my friend made. and then i'm putting in one bench seat that i bought from 76 bus. i think it would be cool to get a roof rack for like the back 3rd, but im getting low on the funds seeing as how i gotta go to school now [_[ . anyways, thanks for looking

The bumpers and the grill are getting painted this weekend, I want to put the VW emblem on the front, but i cant find any of those emblem cips [_[ . the brakes are getting redone right now, and im hoping to undercoat it in the next week or two.
