Daughter's Cabrio

[Lobo2me]

My daughter learned to drive in this cute little VW. A dozen years later she was still grossing about selling it before moving to CO. She wanted it back but learned the next owner's brother had totaled the car. So I decapitated a Fujimi Golf Mk3 CL/GL and achieved the unique "Pinkish Lipstick Red" by shooting three coats of Testors Electric Pink and Revving Red simultaneously (a rattle can in each hand) over a black base coat. It worked and I surprised her on Christmas

Nice! You nailed the seat covers. REAL leather still has the spots!!

Great build, and very clever way to get the color!

Now this is different and very cool!

It's easy to see why she would regret selling this VW.  I remember when the Cow seat covers were a thing. Great looking reproduction and hard to tell them apart in the photos. She better start saving some money and try and find one on the used market.

That’s awesome!  Very nice replica of her car. I would imagine that put a big smile on your daughters face when she saw it. I love these types of builds no matter what the subject car or truck is.
