(Yes, there is a LOT to be said for driving a clunker.) However, the body is in rough shape. The back fenders might best be described as "lacy". That is, only minor dents, but a lot of rust. What are my alternatives. I did do some work with fiberglass and epoxy resin some years ago (different car), and was pleased and surprised at how simple and effective a process it was. I've seen complete sections for sale in fiberglass, but it looks as if that route might cost as much as I paid for the Bug. Might it be worth it? The car seems, given the attentions of a mechanically gifted friend of mine, to have quite a few miles left in it. R.
