Same as beetles - with little resale value corners are cut and the hard bits bodged. I've upset a few shiny Beetle owners telling them the body needs to come off to repair some tiny area that was missed out when it had "total" restoration.
i have nothing in mind to do vw s have got so expensive to buy to restore parts have got very dear and crap, i went out to day took one look at it and thought feck that went back to the house , just wasnt in the form for it , ye get days like that :baggy:
