You learn quick.........pics my man... pics. Welcome to the site. That shorty still looks good for its age. I've always liked the shortys. If I already didn't own way too many vehicles I'd buy one.

Welcome to the site! Say, for an '88 the paint don't look too bad. Lovin the carpet on the interior panels, reminds me of my '68 bug in high school.

its actually crushed velvet(velour) and it will be even nicer once i get the wood floor done and the bed built. the paint is ok from 50ft, but up close its pretty nasty
