vw DUNG beetle

This one is in B-A-D state and should get some tlc, i wasnt suppose to touch it, but i couldnt resist swiping my ShMitt over the front fender to see what was under the dirt`n grime.

Acually the paint aint that bad, and if i had brought with me a longer power cord so i could reach the car with my rotary, i would try giving it a swipe og some MG83 too see what it could do with it.

So dont be surprised if i one day post a "extreme makeover" on this one, i just got to pull it out of the bushes first so i dont get eaten by a moose or something.

Do you guys/girls think Pinnacle Liquid Souveran would do it?













After ShMitt (black!!!)





Pics taken while wet, its kinda haze.....do`h

OH yes there is some rust there also, so if this one gets my tlc it will only be 4 fun, its kinda sad that the car is in this state, because its a "classic" 80s ride with the "porsche" lookAlike and was a real head turner when it was in his prime.

No im not trying to start it......

You should give it your TLC and post the progress. It would surely be a fun project. Then if you could get it to run too, that would be really cool.
