McDude 33 Posted August 4, 2010 Nice of you to put pictures up of your bird's beetle bonnet... ...I'm disappointed though because I thought this thread would be all about sheds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dumbiron 0 Posted August 4, 2010 its a mexican beetle they stopped building them in 2003,im gona do it up and then sell it,she,s always wanted an old beetle so i bought her one and she wont even drive it Thats how i ended up with my white 205 , "Don't want a boring white car!" she said. Its not boring anymore, with a gti6 engine and VTS gearbox , she ain't having it now though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toddydal 1 Posted August 4, 2010 she wont drive it because its to slow for her and she said she cant drive it with primer all over it i keep telling her its the rat look, i have just painted a door tonight ile paint the other door and another wing at the weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulmac19 4 Posted August 4, 2010 Maybe a daft question but why are you painting it panel by panel because your painting skills look pretty good to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toddydal 1 Posted August 4, 2010 i started preping the car mnths ago and had to do it ouside i got most of it prepped and ordered some new wings but now ive just had a prefab garage put up and i bought a new compressor so i thought saying as ive prepped a wing for paint i will try the compressor out so i painted the wing,then the next night i prepped the bonnet and thought i might aswell paint that then last night i prepped the door so i painted that tonight i know i should do it all the parts in one but i havent got the time to spend all night painting them at least this way im only in the garage for 1 hr at a time and i do it all day for a living Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
