What kind of restoration work is needed?

Freshening/spiffing up the chassis? Pan replacement? Frame straightening? Frame-head replacement?

Not being nosey.. just wondering how bad it is.

I want to tighten up the suspension and seal the newley replaced rocker arms that were done in California but the work looks like it will rust fast and badly up here.

Hi John,

From our previous correspondence, I think you mean rocker panels, not rocker arms?

I take my ghia to John's VW Repair on the South side of Bellingham. John has always done well for my maintenance, engine rebuild, and small restoration stuff. He should be in the phone book and he's at 208 McKenzie Ave. Bellingham, WA 98225
