this is my 74 standard vw, well parts of it anyway, the plan is to do a full ground up rebuild i can't really say it will be done in either a euro look or a cal look probably more like a muscle look. i wanted to do the car the old school way, work done at home in a garage, acrylic paint. I want the body of the car to look the way it did when it left the factory in 74. I am a spray painter by trade so i am no stranger to 2 pak its just not the look i am after.

Horse power is how hard you hit the wall, torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it

i decided to replace both pan halves left side had a lot of rust right side not to bad but for the price of new halves it wasn't worth not changing new metal always good 👍
