Restoration Procedure...???...

(Tried posting this already, but it got bounced back to me...sorry if it appears twice...)

Hi Everyone,

Up until now, I have been puttering along with the Beetle, fixing what needed fixing, but I have also been reading VWT's '71 Super Beetle restoration, and it got me thinking about the procedure to follow for semi-restoring my car (i.e. a "Boatcop"

restoration).

If you were to suggest one method in which I should go about all of this, what would it be?

  1. Strip Interior
  2. Repair interior sheetmetal/brakes/chassis system (steering andsuspension) as needed
  3. Remove all exterior trim/windows
  4. Bodywork and Paint car
  5. Reassemble Interior/Exterior
  6. Install new engine
  7. Go Home Happy?

Time isn't really the issue, but I would like to be driving this thing by summer. The engine is basically done, but I don't know where to turn next...Any help would really be beneficial!

Thanks,

Pete
