As a result of rust appearing here and there on the body we decided that it is time to take the car to repainting before the problem gets any worse. As we have decided to keep the car as close to the original as possible the only color option is the original Ruby Red. More about the original body colors and color codes in the previous posting. The rims will be light greay as described in the Tyres and Rims posting.
The biggest challenge with repainting is to find a painter one can trust the work with. We ended up choosing a painter from Centurion who has lots of experience in painting bugs, and in the related bodywork in general. there is always an old car or a bug standing at shop's front yard. For us that was a good sign. We have now met the shop manager, gone through the car inch by inch and made the paint and needed bodywork plan.
We will take the car to the shop at the end of July and expect it to be ready in two months time. While the car is in painting we will concentrate on fixing the engine, sourching rubbers and rechroming the front bumper.
