If only you had some sort of metal fabrication experience

if only he had some some sort of practice car to gain experience on before attempting repairs on something that actually matters

Measure twice, cut once. Good luck! The great thing about cars that are this special and need a bunch of work is that you get to realize and appreciate what goes into getting a car like this back on the road. Most people will just see an old fox, we will see it for how much work went into it.

thanks guys. im very familiar with metal work so this should be a walk in the park. i was just joking about my comment with dremetos. hes simply just an asshole. haha. the fox is very special to me. ive had some very very proper offers on the shell, but i cannot justify doing it. i love it so much. hahah shitty old vw for life

[Clint_McMIllan_95]

think i might be using these on the fox.... no idea what they are, but i love them!!!! face poke is life

spent a little time with some shitty volkswagens this weekend. damn i miss this shit. by bestfriend (@nickchelko on ig) and i brought his shitty jetta to a local reservoir for some photos. i **** how much i love this shit pile. also got the fox home this weekend and the front up on some small stands. gunna start locating some metal for floors shortly. Cheers my friends

[Clint_McMIllan_95]

spent a good bit of time today on removing the passenger floor of the shit box. onto the drivers tomorrow possibly

Where are you sourcing a floor from?

Where are you sourcing a floor from?

I'll be making my own. I usually do appropriate patch panels, but they don't make them, so I'm going to cut out my inner rockers and pinch welds and run some angle iron, cross brace with some 3/16" strapping down the whole floor, then lay down some 3/32 sheet steel. On the passenger side I intend on widening the trans tunnel and rear portion towards the rear seat wall for a side dump exhaust. Pretty basic and simple. Since I'm not running the stock buckets I need to fab up seat mounts and move my shift box and shorten linkages and shit so that I can have a realistic seat position. With all that needing to be done, it seems to make sense to just make my own floor pans.

Please don't ruin the Fox with camber like that Jetta.... Pretty please?

although i love nick, the owner of the jetta, ever so dearly, as he is my bestfriend, i do not plan to camber the fox. the jetta, by all means, is NOT, however, ruined by the camber. nothing was modified to the chassis for that. ruined by the flares screwed to the body on the other hand.... hahhahha

the fox will remain with little to no camber. IF needed, ill camber it a touch to create a decent turn ability is all. im going for a decent ratio of form and function
