In the meantime, I swapped on a Beetle steelie, bandaged the torn intercooler hose with a Smart Water bottle and some zip ties and drove her into my shop...
Honestly, I think the hardest part of the repair would be getting the door off and replacing the rocker panel. Otherwise, most everything else is a bolt-on affair.

But its actually kind of awesome:
Its way more than budgeted for in my estimate, but I can make it work. What do you think?
