I think yours looks superb, great work, honestly. The only tip is that it looks too scratched, if that makes any sense, just my opinion and certainly doesn't detract from the excellent work.

That's a first attempt?? Cracking looking beetle and the rust is all in the right places, defo think Si ( eddiesolo) may have a run for his money!!!


However in a way it's nice to have a little healthy competition


( only joking )


This looks really nice indeed


Well done

Love the fading of the paint work on your motor great detail I think .


The for sale sign what a nice touch.


It is a different type of rust to mine .


Your car looks well used but still runs .


I take on board what you say about to many scratches and I see what you mean .
