Hi, new GTII owner here in Minneapolis, MN.
It definitely needs a lot of work although the body doesn't have much damage that isn't just cosmetic. Original/previous owners never finished it. And as far as I can tell didn't follow the build instructions at all (which were included).
It's on a '69 pan with IRS rear, ball joint front. Missing pretty much all of the interior besides the seat padding and vinyl.
I plan to take a lot of measurements and pictures before lifting the body to do phase one which entail refurbishing the vw bits. I'm also planning to put in a 4 (or more) point roll cage since the original "roll bar" is missing and I'm guessing doesn't provide much safety anyway.
End goal is to do an electric conversion.
I've learned a lot just searching through posts the last month or so, this site will be very useful I think.
