Is that a custom vw once off paint job?? haha. Congrats man. Enjoy it.

i need to find a way to remove the spray paint.

Jack up that tranny and support it somehow!!

i shall be doing that. got the car on mon, had friggin flu since then and only been getting home l8. altho the whole tranny will need to come out...... maybe i should do that one time?

Buff it out. Lotsa hard rubbing, or a machine polish with P11.

ive got a polishing/buffer machine. ill look in stores for some light rubbing compound. that should work.

griffiti remover

As promised some day time pics.

Even my cat Sylvester is enjoying the car.
