Lennon the Lemon's Overdue and Painstakingly Overdrawn Respray

What are the benefits of waiting furiously for your car to be resprayed?

• Free lifts
• No petrol money
• Sleep in longer

What are the drawbacks of waiting furiously for your car to be resprayed?

• No car
• Cannot invite the lovely lady from work out for a drink because your dad is cramping your style
• Stereo on a volume so low you require a hearing aid.
• Impersonating the paint sprayers accents and dialect at the dinner table
• Insanity

Frankenstein.

Never fear, it makes for excellent blogging material while I'm pretty tired from my first week at VW Heritage, which suffice to say I'm enjoying every moment. My parents were keen to see how my boy Lennon was getting on at the paint sprayer's during the week. I'd like to note that the welding has been completely finished and during the weekend, we hope that he has been filled in sufficiently, finally ready to go in for a full respray ahead of completion.

Rust free!

Now, the MOT is coming up in double quick time so I'm hoping to have a lot of material as his rapid completion and build comes to fruition with daily updates. This is providing the paint sprayer's actually get their arse into gear and get going with the car.

Filled with rust, now filled with filler and some new metal. Good as new! 

Feel free to view some pictures of Lennon. He's looking like Frankenstein right now with everything removed from the car, except the bare shell now. If you view the posts in reverse, it's about a fitting story where a young boy receives a Beetle where the paint sprayer's did a pretty shoddy job and managed to create rust on the car, but luckily sourced parts from all over the world, regardless of their condition.

Note: The bottom right has been totally reworked. We didn't even know there was any rusting metal there!

Admittedly, it's taking a little longer than we'd hope. Originally the deadline was a week, although that's now been a month. 

I just want my boy back so I can thrash it around the streets.

He's on the mend.
