    It actually doesn't look that bad, even with the rust, in the pictures. I'm sure it looks worse in person though. Demz some tight VDubs.

    Rust, yes, i have a little. Im in canada, we get 8 months of winter a year. The city loves to use salt, pea gravel, and sand to destroy all. I thinks it adds to the character.

    To explain, Im a VW guy. This is my winter car. The name only8v comes from my affinity for VW 8v engines.

    1 of my many projects.....











    gotta boost......

    heck no, if anything, ill add to it. you have to understand, this body is done. there is no saving it. if there was a possibility of fixing it, I would.

    dont get me wrong, i look after it. Heck, i waxed it 3 days ago.

    hope it lasts longer than my car :p
    slick rims, i bet that exhaust sounds sick, ah rust, what a dirty bitch it can be sometimes, expecially when its ur steering rack that rusts.
    cops like pulling me over, or does my car actually look this bad?
