Of course all Volkswagens don't rust. After discovering that my bumper brackets were virtually non-existent, this is what I saw down the front chassis legs. I am currently having a weldathon sorting this out.post-4427-0-54569200-1455131042_thumb.jpgpost-4427-0-52051500-1455131060_thumb.jpg

These was what was left of my bumper brackets after a struggle to remove them as the captive nuts were no longer captive.

I was unpleasantly surprised by this discovery. I had to order replacements from Germany and they weren't cheap.

This sad old HA still looks cleaner than half of them which were on the road in the late 80s.
