71 squareback 1st restore newbie

Post by drewadams1000 » 28th April 2011 - 7:07am

hey guys im new to the board, and to volkswagens. i found a deal on this squareback. heres the details...
-250 bucks
-engine is rebuilt with only 600 miles on it.
-dash is in pretty good shape.
-one owner

ive never restored a car before. the only thing im worried about is all the rust. i would like to do the rust work myself but ive never done it. is it rust work hard to do it yourself?

heres some photos of it the guy took. he used the car for a photoshoot and doesn't need it anymore. should i jump on this?

u gotta start somewhere!
look at plenty of other resto threads, get an idea where the rust lurks.
get the wings off.
post up pictures and people on here will guide you.
worry about rust later lets see whats what and what needs repairing.
good luck....
