and that's how it stands at the moment:


This was also my first attempt at bodywork and paint

Thnx man.
By the way, don't be bummed, that particular hit is an easy fix. 2 days after I finished fixing and painting my car, some A-hole ran into the other side. It looked exactly like yours. Good news is it took me about an hour popping it back out. I had to take out the changer and the amplifier to push it from the inside. Some glaze was necessary to take care of the little imperfections, then I'm in the process of painting that whole side. I just can't catch a break with this car hahaha

I've always liked volks...
Ive seen volks on sc's before and never liked them ever since I had my sc so I never considered getting a set but that pic makes me want them again!

I can't believe you paint that in the garage. Lol. I'd like to know the setup you use for paint! And which paint you use.
