I have used similar products in the past, mostly as a get you home measure. A friend of mine used to race motorbikes and I would tag along to help, admittedly this was a good few years ago, but alloy bike radiators were occasionally punctured by small stones, the hot tip then, was to mix up some 5 minute epoxy (Araldite or similar), apply to the rad core at the point of the leak and either let gravity draw the epoxy through the core or use a drinking straw to push or blow the epoxy through the core. It may not look very good but it worked, and could also be used for other get you home bodges. cracked my rad once out n about , limped to a petty station and bought a tin of body filler , mixed up a good dollop and shoved that into the leak , worked great and something thats avail at most garages etc

i was all about getting a beetle , loved the idea until i drove one , knew before id done 100 mtrs that it wasnt for me in the slightlest , maybe it was a really bad example but havent looked at them since
guess it depends what you want it for , beetles can be customised so many ways , don't even see many stock ones about , where the minor has a bit of a old mans rep , doesnt shout look at me

Any reason I shouldn't use that copper line for fuel? Phil its mostly frowned upon , cupro nickle is same money and a better product doubt its going to matter on a low use car like that

that can be repaired to invisible
repairers spray on some thick paint type stuff then press a silcone mold with the texture onto it , back in the day i worked at car dealers when all the stereos were being stolen and saw many dashes get repaired that way
