I'm not sure which is more 'cringeworthy', the content or the presentation.

OK, so I'm a Grumpy Old Man, but I give up after a few words if anything is too hard to fathom. Can't see why I should work hard trying to figure
out that stuff.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Hello ladies and gents,
I travelled to a local vw establishment to have a gander at a lowlight bus and was rather distressed and dismayed at the quality of the workmanship.
Examples such as door panels not being aligned accordingly to factory specifications, and door seals which were tarnished by paint overspray.
It is quite upsetting that these vehicles are being restored in such a manner just as a means to profiteer off the vehicle and not give the vehicle
the respect it deserves.

By the way you spell and your immaculate grammar, I think the last thing you and other road users need is a VW.
Maybe a trip back to school is in order

Why? you ask.
Maybe being 'new' to the forum and, well, just read 'some' comments above. It may discourage any further contribution.
I would say there would be a lot of members of AVD that would be hesitant to post anything for fear of sounding silly

Hopefully Days Splity has learnt from another forum when people were trying to give him the advice he asked about and just received attitude back.
Definitely pays to read what you write before you post. Speaking a certain way is one thing, but writing that way also makes people tune out. Really
couldn't understand what was written so makes it hard to help.

Hey! So i went and had a look at a Low Light Kombi today. It upsets me that the quality of the restoration was not up to my standard. The doors were
hard to open and the finish of the paint was marred by some bad runs and sags. The rubbers were also badly masked up. It is upsetting to see there
are fly by night/shady restorers doing up classic kombi's for a quick buck. The vehicle was at the restorers shop and was supposed to be a sample of
the quality of his work. Very sad.
Hope this helps.
