Id be seriously concerned about the fire damage weakening the integrity of the chassis

Old metal gets brittle when cooked hot enough to melt a carburetor. These things were unsafe brand new, I had two of them myself so I know, but Id honestly worry about metal fatigue with a fire that bad.

I hate to sound like a downer but i really do love ACVWS and im just bei g cautious.

Drove it down to it's first VW meet this weekend

Still drives surprisingly good. Hold's freeway speeds without issue, and starts up every time in the morning.

Going to start rebuilding the furniture this weekend using the old wood as templates. Probably order the interior door panels as well and get those installed.

This isnt the BLTN crew is it?
