Been out in the garage this afternoon after I got home from work and
glass filled the n/s arch and fixed the arch to the 'A' panel, glassed in
place . split the arch where it meets the 'A' panel.... both sides are done.
Had to trim the rear of the arch at the 'A' panel as
it pertruded below the 'A' panel..


pics showing the front lifted.

also lengthened the front of the arches to meet with the botton
of the front valance

owning a Vdub you must have one of those attributes !!!
as Vdubs and minis have similar problems with their bodies

it's not so much about skill but patience and the willingness to try!
you can always ask for help!!!!

Im afraid its a new fangled Polo so not body work issues yet. Anywho, my project is coming along slowly, its just tedious stuff like sanding and grinding that bores me.

I'm not keen either, just take your time, body finishing is the
most important part and good finishing makes a vast difference
on the finished appearence of a car..
