Outside Paint is Done!

Well, I finally got around to removing the rest of the red paint today.

Before,


After



Next project to tackle is the inside. That is not going to be fun. I tried a small spot and the paint doesn't come off like it does on the outside. I may end up getting some paint that comes close to the orange on the outside and just masking everything off and painting  the inside.

Surprise

Well, the wind has put a damper on my plans this week. I was planning on getting the red off the driver side, but so far I haven't been able to do anything. Never fails when you want to use something in an aerosol form, the wind comes up. LOL

Here is a photo of how the driver side looks right now.




I did get a surprise in the mail today. I had talked to a guy about an ECU cover about a week or so ago. I asked him to let me know how much it would cost to ship it to me, and I never heard from again. Till today! :D



VW people are awesome. :D

Starting the strip down.

I decided I wanted to go back to the OG color. I have been working on her for the last week, stripping the red paint off. I have been using Easy Off oven cleaner.














This is where I left off on Friday. We have turned the car around and I will start on the driver side this week. I will update the blog as I go.

The story of Clementine.

I recently bought a 71 Squareback and this is going to be her blog. I will ad things as I do them to her.

Here she is as I got her.
