New Guy from Dallas

whats goin on? I was given a link to this forum on another forum. I'm from paulding county. I am 23yrs old and have owned a VW since i was 14. Its a 1974 Super beetle, stock 1600cc and stock trans. i have a scat drag fast shifter in it and really miss driving it. the brake went out on me a few years back and i just parked it and havent messed with it since. well last weekend some punks decided to give me a new paint job. anyways it has relit the fire to get this vdub back on the open road where she belongs. I miss driving her ( any my wallet does too ). i lost alot of the info i use to know about these and i am having to start from scatch. anyways back to making sure they dont pick a diffrent color for her. heres how she started

and this is what they did to her.







no idea why they decided to spare the windows on the passager side. I also have the pop outs for her locked up in the building.

Welcome you'll find this site very addictive and fun. Just tell me you got the guys head in a bag in the back seat for that spray job LOL!!!!!!!!! anyway hope you get it up and running real soon.

Hate to see your bug got ruffed up by some punks. Get those brakes fixed...add a few more colors...and get back on the road in Tye Dye!




Welcome to the site, a bunch of good information on here from a bunch of good folks.

Welcome back to the sickness. Sucks to see the your car vanalized. Most of that paint will come off with some elbow grease.

thanks for the warm welcome. my plan is to have it back on the road by late spring. plans have a way of falling throu BUT i think i can pull it off and since i know that there is a nice group of people i can ride with it will push me even more.

Turpentine will remove most spray paint without harming the base paint. It looks like there was a good film of mildew on there so that might help in the removal. Welcome aboard and let us know if you need any help!

Welcome to the forums!!

Like they said, most of that paint will come off with a little work.

Welcome aboard. I live north of Dallas. If you need a hand with anything, just send me a pm.

Welcome to ya from another fellow VW guy in Paulding County. I live in the east side of the county off of hwy 92 and East Paulding. If I can help in any way let me know. Welcome to a very good family here on Georgia Dubs.

I don't know that turpentine is even needed to get the paint off with the much dirt and growth on the car... i'd bet that most of it would come off with a good bath... I'm not too far from Dallas, let me know if you need any help cleaning it up!

I'd like to track them down and make them clean it off! NOT COOL!!!

welcome to the forums BTW

Not cool. Good luck getting her cleaned up.

What's going on Bro? We are starting a new club in Cartersville, and if you're not already in one, come check us out! We are having our first meeting this Saturday @ Cici's Pizza around 2pm. Cya!

i don't have any kids but i bought a buick lasaber to turn around to sell last week for a hundred dollars and the kids on the road kncoked out the back window with a rock so its either replace the rear window or haul it off for scrap and make 300 no proof on the kids so its on me
