That's a lot of mud :shock: - are you going to strip it all? What are you using to take it off?

Good luck with the project - please keep us updated.

Beetle Beauties has been under new ownership for a good year or two now. I was quite familiar with the founders and initial owners of BB and this bug was more than likely one of the first ones. We had nothing but kak with the car we bought from them way back when and many unhappy miles. Those guys were *censored* and didn't have a clue. They were sheer gold diggers! The new guys there seem incredibly helpful and appear to go way beyond the call of duty. I've been there often (a friend of mine in my car was mugged right outside the place I might add and I had everything swiped from the car during the mugging) but the guys there at BB now are most helpful. This is not and advert or endorsement for them, I'm just making everyone aware that the place has changed hands. It's unfortunate for them that the name has such a tarnish. Use them, don't use them... but it's no longer owned by *censored*

Barry- im using a grinder with a sanding disk, making sure not to heat up the metal too much.
Rudi-thanx.
Gavin-i hear you. Im sure the owner didnt even know what was going on in the paint shop, otherwise he wouldnt advertise hes name on all the cars.

Ferdi,

If you put half as much effort into Stephens bug as you did with mine, it is going to be a "BB", Beautiful Bug!

Good luck and enjoy this one!

Cheers
