Default Wow... now this is how you restore a car

Since i just got a MK2 jetta, im always looking for different sites and whatnot, and i saw this on one of the VW sites.. this is amazing.. Even if you dont like Mk2 jettas, or even VWs period, you gotta respect the workmanship and the time and effort put into this car..
