I began to sand off some of the bondo at the bottom of the front end and discovered there wasn't all that much, but the rust at the lower lip was pretty bad and required cutting of about 2 more inches of metal off of the Bus. After this I fitted all the panels which everyone seemed to doubt were going to fit properly... LOL! C'mon guys, seriously? CIP1 sells the very awesome AutoCraft replacement VW Bus body panels! Great fitment! After investigating rust in the front end of my 1967 VW Bus. First by removing the bumper, then the entire lower nose peeled off by hand. I discovered that the front end inner support was almost completely disintegrated and missing! After digging deeper it was found that the front end was repaired by someone at some earlier point by gluing some galvanized sheet metal over the nose rust with bondo... NOT ACCEPTABLE! ⚫ Consider Supporting This Project!⚫ GET MERCH ▶ http://duckshit.net/store PATREON ▶   / duckshit  …...more
