Post by team biscuit »

Hi Gents

I am restoring my panel van and decided on tree different colours witch is a big challenge for a newbie lol

So I have decided to weld a piece of a beetle bonnet in front
crazy thought big challenge

Thats pretty cool, well done.
I actually like the front in single tone more, even with your bonnet mod - it makes it more subtle. But i suppose it'll look much better in person than "on paper".
Good show and keep the pics coming as the resto continues!

Nice idea, must say it adds split character to the bay front.

Well done, like the look and it will be different.

Would agree with Tony, two tone always looks better then three tone, less busy.

keep photo's coming
