got the rear guards painted up this week and have been tidying up the rear end a little
and found a little cancer under the beading
the original beading came off nicely so with some advice from fellow dubbers i cleaned it up and it came up great..
now got the pics back with the wind splitter i got from BennetonVW ( thanks mate )

Resto, I love the look of your car but can you tell this newbie what the green thing on the front is? I hope I see it trundling around Adelaide at some stage, you're not out south by any chance?
Freddie Fender ·
Lookin' real nice! Beware about dropping it too low, you can't get over any speed humps the moment you do and love the white mud flaps, don't want to lose them do you?
Resto64 ·
might want to get rid of them when i slam it cause they will drag!!!
