Too rusty to fix?

Post by Stütz »

I'm sure lots of you have wondered whether 'that old beater' is fixable?! Take a look at this guy's work and you'll be amazed at what the Poms will tackle. Flippen amazing.

Hey, Chuck Norris could fix that with a number 10 spanner and a hot chick from Benoni. No, seriously I hope that guy does come right, I am currently busy on a similar project, an old car, not aircooled so I wont mention it's pedigree. Luckily the Beetle I redone was bought from an ou toppie who took relatively good care of the old girl, so there was not that much rust. I will be keeping an eye on this one, might as well replace the good metal with fibre glass and use the rust as a ground up filler for cracks in the garden wall.
