Is it just me or is this car one that wont fade away into the background anytime soon? & thankfully not for the wrong reasons!

well thaqts some dedication to resetore that with the amount of rust in it

I've seen some much rustier bugs (and all kinds of other cars) repaired in the UK. Welding up cars is just a part of life there because they all rust so fast, even when they buy late '90s cars over there they more or less expect to have to weld on a few patches to the floor and some new inner wheelarches. I just count myself lucky to live here in Australia where the cars rust slower!

I've seen a 99 Golf IV here that was imported from Europe and its all rusty underneath like nothing I've ever seen here
