my pisstake at boyracer types painting their bonnets black. I jsut knocked all the paint off mine and got some rust going on.
got some horrified looks, too.

2 years of sitting outside the fence has now given it a beautiful patina look. dark dark brown. will be great once i get that thing going again.
of course I used a twisted bonnet from a crashed 205 that i had. not my good one :wink:
Most old VW's have that look. They call it rat. I, like you I assume, call it shit!

Yes! I work about 5 minutes away from Santa Pod, and ever time there is some VW show on, I see Campers, Beetles, Golf Mk2s and Mk3s looking like that... We have this joke going, where every time we see them, we say... "Wow, never seen a Golf that looks like that before :wink: "

Nah... Each to their own, and all that.
