this IS my new ride (800x600 pics) (video included)
I can't wait to see the flat black result. I am looking for a winter beater to do that too.

its actually gonna be gloss black... there is a business around here called rent-a-geek that does computer services, they use shitty vans painted flat black...i dont wanna look like one of them... im hoping with all the sanding that the paint will actually look good

I once used a belt sander on the dining room walls of an apartment...
Scary how well it helped.
Andrew...aren't you supposed to be dropping off the dry cleaning right now?

I got a TXT message last night from Andrew, something about bondo, and since I know how to do bondo, I guess my ASSistance is required sometime lol.
So I'll get some work into the *******' waggon

I forgot to mention...since you are doing body work, I believe 90 or 91 C/Vs have different bumpers and wrap-around extensions. (Compare a 89 Golf/Jetta to a 92 and you will see what I mean). It will make for a much nicer look. Also, I think Erebuni (sp?) made a body kit some time ago for them...mostly bought up by conversion companies for handicapped conversions.
