Hello from Chula Vista
Hello everyone, my name is George Gallegos, I live in Chula Vista, CA. and i've been meandering this site for a while now and have liked very much what I have seen so far. I am a newbie to metalshaping and my interest in it has been fueled by the lack of profesionalism from a few bodyshops in the area.
I have a VW convertible that i've been trying to restore but have had no luck in having the work done by a reputable workshop. The last shop had the car for over a year and basically did nothing to it. So i want to try my hand on it and see if i can restore it on my own and have the satisfaction of a job well done, and I hope to learn as much as I can from all members on this site. Any help I can get will be much appreciated. |

George, I was just out in SD over Labor day and happened to go to the car show at Qualcomm stadium. I was surprised to see all the nice VW's:
Good luck on your restoration, with all the nice VW's out there, looks like you'll be in good company
