FAQ 36

Question: One of the first body mods I was thinking of was to get rid of both front and rear bumpers. Is there a way to fill the spaces? And second was to get the front turn signals off of the top of the fender and mount them somewhere down low on the front. Can you help me out?

Answer: Before getting in too deep, you should look at what people have done. Go to the VW car shows in your area, and subscribe to one or more of the air cooled VW magazines. I've got info about the magazines at:

Both the bumper removing and moving the lights sound like good starter body work projects. Still, to do these jobs right you'll need a MIG welder, grinder, and a spray painting outfit.

Keith Seume has a whole series of great books about custom VWs.
