3 potential ideas floating about my head space at the moment. As above, Satin black, Pinstriped with painted green steelies (never had a satin black car). Satin yellow on the outside, keep the standard green inside and call it 'Lemon and Lime' in a 90s style with some graphics etc Would love to make some centre lines work on one of the above also don't you think Satin black has been done so many times ? I quite like the Lemon & Lime idea, pretty sure that has been done on an air cooled Beetle many years ago along with rhubard & custard Yeah I do know it's done to death but still a good style if done right. Oh it's deffo late 80s 90s leaning that idea, the more I think about it I like it

I saw an early new beetle once on a photo in that terrible (to me, Dez would probably have liked it) light green metallic, that was in the color charts back in its days.
But this time I quite liked it since that typical old beetle two tone mode with paited lower door skins and sice panels between the wings was applied by nato camouflage vinyl (I guess). Some lowering, some wheels - simple but nice.
Will look for a pic later.

I think the problem with some of these cheap car as a base, builds, is that they end up appealing to a very narrow band of punters. I used to see, 10-15 years ago, on this forum, guys shout loudly when someone bought something, but had no creativity, vision or clue what they wanted to do with it, except to be part of some clique ….. “Paint it satin/Matt black” and you kinda knew, that was a doomed car. Next stop, crusher, failed MOT breaking for parts etc. Looking at the one Stiff posted, and the two myself and retrolegends posted, I know the one I would choose for the same money (hypothetically) Looking forward to what you may get up to next slackerTHEpinstriper

nacha has finished his build now . What a brilliant result. And as YouTube channels and commentators go, this guy gets my vote. I love it.

Put the vid up as it’s nice to see things moving . 👍 I find guys like AdamC8795 and Swag Fails intolerable. So much so that I cannot watch their stuff. To me, these guys just had a casual chat. If you were to select your ideal presenters, I suspect we would all have differing opinions. Two,guys I enjoy, who are diametrically opposed in some aspects are Div of Ratrods For Africa and Make it Custom. Styles so different, yet, clever guys who share and teach. Some channels really are just to be seen as pure entertainment, or else just ignore and skip them. But………. I still really like his result, and for a 20 year old, it is an accomplished build imho.
