Getting Started - My First Post!

[VW-Dasher]

Well - I thought that I should jump right in at some point and tonight looks about right. My first car was a 1974 bright orange VW Dasher and hince the handle! I live in Fincastle, VA - a little town near Roanoke.
I have owned numerous VWs - all water cooled - but the Beetle always had an appeal to me. I have finally started my GL Beetle! I managed to get a suitable workplace and I have ripped into my 1972 RUST BUCKET std beetle. Monday was my first real session with the car - I took the interor out (what the hell is that suff they used for sound damping - it looks and acts just like dried clay) and stripped the fenders off. Tuesday I unbolted the body and preped it for removal. New heater channels, floor board and now it looks like a new frame head assembly all have to be installed. I have quite a project ahead of me but, belive it or not, I am having a ton of fun taking this thing apart!
I look forward to chatting with all of you during this process!

Thanks, Mike
