okay, now i understand what the deal is here. folks, here we have a prime example of whats wrong with the youth of today. full fender here is 13 years old ( no, seriously, thirteen ) he knows jack shit about fuckall & is calling out people probably older than his parents on how things should be done.... wtf? a kid loving old cars is great! that in itself makes me happy. but being a smartass to folks much older than you isnt gonna cut it kid. ive bought, built & sold more hot rods & classics in the past 5 years than you most likely saw at your last car show. love them or hate them, theyre all going to be different & not everyone has the same taste in cars, paint , wheels or interior. now go work on your car, quit being a little prick & go tell your mom & dad youre pissing off old men on the computer. |

Just ignore all the negative stuff. What others haven't learned yet is that if you don't like something, don't respond because it doesn't help, it only hurts. if you like it, great....
There's plenty of stuff out there that I don't care for but I just keep my hands off the keyboard. I'm sure others feel the same way about some of my tastes.
Oh well.....to each his own. |

I am only new to this forum as of today...
I love the diversity of all the VWs here and think it shows how unique and individual we are.
I love your bug, it's your version of this classic beauty and would reflect your personality, and that's what owning a VW is all about.
My bug displays my personality, and I love driving her. If my husband was to own it, he would change a few things, lol.... But all in all our cars are apart of us, and that's what is special about owning a bug and making it ours  |

My personal opinion on patina is that I'm in the fence...but I have a lot of respect for any classic car that is in the road driving. I've sold more than one project car for 1/3 of what i had in it after I got in over my head. Since doing that, I find I criticize way less and appreciate other people's stuff a lot more.
My Beetle has a 20 foot paint job done by a prior owner. It has some major orange peal, and a few spots that it is bubbling. I don't want to strip the car to fix it. I want to drive the car and have fun. If it gets worse, I might go the path you went just to attack some rust blustering and seal it well for protection. |

Bro, I like it and I like how you stand by it. You want it to fade and rust some more, come park it next to mine out here in Okinawa. Welcome!

I can dig the racks and it's your car. If you want fake patina, have at it.
I like the Aussie trim or whatever it is. I might steal that idea
