Are you going to use painted bumpers, or chrome? Personally, I like how they are in the original VW ad.

Então, depois que eu achei ela, desmontamos ela toda.Ai ela ficou um tempo parada, pois eu estava procurando um funileiro que fizesse um bom trabalho e que fosse fora do horário de serviço..
Vai demorar um pouco, mas a pressa é minha adversária, quero prestar atenção nos mínimos detalhes.
O funileiro é muito bom mesmo, o melhor da região. Já encontrei também o pintor cujo trabalha junto com o funileiro, também é ótimo por sinal.
Vamos fazer o serviço de pintura numa caabine profissional no lugar onde ele trabalha..
O serviço de montagem vai ficar comigo e o cara que me ajudou na desmontagem.

the red bus looks fantastic

the two tone painted bumper combined with the chrome overriders and black knobbies echoes the design of the polished/black deluxe trim on the two tone painted nose of the bus perfectly

the bolts in the bumper would be better shiny as well --
polished stainless or chrome

Hello guys!

Well, my tinker is passing for some personal problems, so I will not post new photos so often.
I guess I'll post pictures only once a week.
