I also saw one other project these guys are working on, a super that was rusted out bad. to see it now you would never know its the same car. I think we have a couple of guys who are first class VW restoreres here, who should open a shop and soon!

Anth. I know we haven't seen each other for awhile but Bob might just have the answer you are looking for. About a job?

Sorry you missed out on the picture and Action News but you know I can do "magic" with that. And I hope you Dad is ok.

I "think" you know where I live-Ha Ha

What's MAACO want for the Bus paint job?
Title: Re: 72/73
Post by: 66-Ghia on August 05, 2010, 06:49:03 pm: Shawn, Anth. and I took my bus down to Maaco in Turnersville and Skip gave me a price of $1,600 BUT I wanted a special two tone paint job, that included all the body work etc.he will even give you all the info. on touch colors just in case.
I'm sure you can work out a price with him
.
This is not your Macco of old . But only in Turnersville.

Hope this helps?

But if I choose to have it done, I'll have our very own
Franks Auto Body do it. ;-)
