Wow. Good luck with it.

Was that your wife in the doorway with the worried look on her face? :)

Nice find. I like the bubbles and oxidation in the paint. I hope you leave it.

heya , thanks guys. Yep that's my worried wife. I have 2 55 kombi's this 58 beetle and a 76 camper. haha She hates it. My plans are to stay the rat for some time till i get enough money to do a proper resto. At the mo' I am going with tha flo', just after a nice wood slat roofrack now. (by nice i mean rusty :wink: ) Mechanically she's A1, so I really just need a good bead blast and paint, body work etc. Thanks,

Too bad the wife hates the VW madness. She should be grateful your not spending everynight at the pub.

Hope you were talking about the beetle and not your wife... :wink:

LOL...I'd suggest a gentle lowering job and roll it stock.
