just shave it enough to re-paint

RE: body help
 

you will need a fine grit like 250-400 grit. all you will need to do i rough it up and that paint is not all to hard i would imagen.

i'm gonna get a air spray gun and such to use, i also have a few places i need to bondo cause rust is taking its toll, maybe take more paint off in those places and stuff.

RE: body help
 

you do relize that what you want to do is a bigger project than you think right???

the spry gun will work fine in all but you will need to be very particular with it.
and in the bondo place it needs to be down to the bare metal.

yea i figured about the bondo, and if i mess up with the paint, i'll just sand it down again, i'm trying mot to spend a fortune on this car, i picked it up for $800 from some lady, it also has some linkage problems, i don't know if i really want to get in there right now lol

RE: body help
 

linkage for what... i could be an easy fix.

to the tranny, hard to get it in gear sometimes, the old VW's have skidplate/floor boards, i might want to remove that sometime

RE: body help
 

yha if you remove those it should open up alot more to you to see
