I know that once you have a sad car that you are already committed to, a better one seems to turn up that also needs saving.. but this certainly looks extreme. Hope the next parts car is REALLY terrible  Great work so far. |

Is it just me who thinks those mis-matched panels look great?
What's your plan for the paint?

Hope the next parts car is REALLY terrible Great work so far. Been there done that! Most of the bodywork was completed on my Beetle (heater channels, both front quarters, bulkhead, spare wheel well, rear inner wings, valances etc) when a '67 donor turned up that needed much less work. Can't keep them all though, so chopped up the donor. Wish I hadn't tho! |
