We do media blasting for guys who want a fresh shell to rebuild. You could find a new shell from vw somewhere but that would most likely cost you what welding, parts and dipping could cost.

I don't think they are avail but i'm sure a few are nocking around somewhere :smiley:

Didn't look new. Didn't they have pre 90 spec trim with quarter light wing mirrors?

I doubt a new body shell would be available now.
