I like what I see Boots-bro. With a good slapping of rust stains it'll look superb.

Lady Beetle driver goes shopping in Tesco's. Comes out, gets in her car but it won't start. She looks under the bonnet to find no engine, so she calls the police. A female police officer drives up, also in a beetle. "Look someone has stolen my engine!" she says pointing at the empty bonnet compartment. "Don't worry," the police woman assures her "I have a spare in my boot!"

Completely missed the start of this one. What's not to like about a rusty and beaten up Beetle eh. Looks nice mushty. Love the chipping of the coloured fender. Rusty tones looking very...rusty too

Thanks Wout`s Moved on to stage 2.........i`m doing this in sections rather then apply the chipping fluid all over in one go reason being it`s easy to get side tracked by trying to do the whole chipping process in one hit.......this is a more restrained way and allows me to concentrate on one area rather than being tempted to go all out in one hit... Anyhooo...........one side done, as i mentioned this is just the basics and more tones will be applied during the next phase once all the body colour is done
I`ll hopefully get a bit more done later
Thanks folks...
