Dude. At that price you committed Grand Theft Auto.

That definitely was "steal". Well done. I paid R10k for Betty and I felt that was a bargain.

Before

Primed with problem spots identified

1st coat

Old vs 90% re-done

Still gotta fine sand it then possibly apply another coat then spray reflective spray over it.
What you think?

So this poor VW has been sitting neglected due to financial constraints.
Heres the big question...... anyone want it?
