No pesky door jambs to worry about. I'm thinking Olive Drab green or keep it red? It's kinda both now.
Or maybe Kawasaki green with black fenders to match my other Bug? Depends on what's on sale. I'm hoping to finish the whole car for under $2K including the price of the car. That's possible but not likely. Time will tell. I was going to part it but she said to keep it to give the grandkids rides. What the heck I like it.
I really like that thing. HEY! That's what it is, a homemade "VW Thing". Perfect for boppin' around your river resort town. I see a parade vehicle full of your grandchildren. I'd spray bomb the replacement parts red and let the sun eat it up. Or the whole thing red and let the sun fade it out. But... it would also look great staying red and shiny with better paint
