Car is being used for an advertisment for bodywork and paint on Craigslist..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I don't think it's the angle or that the car is too high.....I'd be pissed if it was my car and it looked that unbalanced (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Ouch, it does look funky. It's Joe's car from Livermore. He got it, it came with poorly installed fiberglass flares. He had the steel ones installed. Maybe they installed the flares to the same opening the FB ones came off. It looked ok in person. It was in a tight garage so I did not get a good side view like in the pic.

I'm not sure if the guy who did the body paint also did the body. I went to see this car in person in the process of considering the painter for one of my cars. Not too bad but not too good either IMHO. The paint or maybe the clearcoat looks too thick in places. Maybe it needs color sanding or something.

I met Joe from an Ebay deal. I bought his MSDS Inc. engine install kit for VW Vanagons. Joe bought Marty's (Mr. MSDS himself) Vanagon Syncro with a 3.2 Carerra engine. I got the kit. Joe put the 3.2 in the blue 1970 914-6 in the pic.
