shiny is good but i wanted to make something that looked like it had been sitting in a back yard for the past ten years or something, that you may get stung or bitten if you open the doors and sit in it. i am working on an interior and hopefully will be done soon. just wanted to share what i have done so far.

Thats a breath of fresh air, looks great
Karmann
Looks fantastic! How did you do it?
WOW, that is great
the green beetle
Where do you find this one ?? An old farm in Italy??
Very nice!!
evirob
Great idea! Superb finish too. Nice work.
Steffen
Amazing work, and very refreshing. Some 'how I did it' shots would be icing on the cake!

That looks fantastic Christian, you should go find a junkyard or farm field as photo background
I've always wanted to do a Beat up Rusty Beetle maybe this will inspire me!
BeetleOne
I don't know how, but i think you have done a great and original work on the body. Cheers!
I like it ! Never seen the used look on an alfa before. Curious how you did it.

thanks all. i would love to claim that years of artistic skill and knowledge let me to this, but nothing is further from the truth. it seemed the more i screwed up, the better it looked. then i realized i was trying to make a mess, so messing up was ok. you don't know till you try!!
minivtec
looks like most of the alfa romeos that i get to fix at work. great build
great idea, you should put a little rust /and crud on the wheels to finish it off lol..
Mad Zero
Stunning job on the paint matey! May I suggest the shut lines would look more realistic dark red rather than black? L-U-K-E summed it up best - it's a breath of fresh air!
BeetleOne
No..No, You are a talent!!!
Hiluxious
Just like the Alfa I had a couple of years back. The red paint turned white on that too
. A stunning pice of art you have on your hands. You are a true talent! Looking forward to see even more of this.

A great replica of a three year old Alfa, just ready for its first MOT and a complete rebuild

Probably one of the best paintjobs I have seen for such an alfa in a long time... Somehow they look best in red, but it's boring to make them plain red... A good alternative you have here
tuff bug
rusty Alfa yeah thats about right very nice job did you paint from the outside?
7.2inchdriver
it is painted from the inside. i used an air brush and a paint brush. alot of people have asked about the process, so i have a cooper body that i will do soon and i will take pics of the steps i used.

very nice just like a car that has been stood a long time red paint does tend to fade when a car gets old good to see something different and original.
BeetleOne
I can't wait to see a mini in this condition!!!
Crash Cramer
That is nice, a true survivor, but I am with someone else and the wheels need a bit of the three color treatment, like silver, black and rust to match the car. I even like the fact that there seems to be a thick layer of dust on the windows.
Nice car man i like the old look. Nice
Goldnest
Most realistic model interpretation of an Alfa of the seventies ever!
7.2inchdriver
thanks man. trying to find time to finish it.
Goldnest
Finish it? Man: you're a monster! Give it some extra time to LIVE!

Really unbelievable job on this one, I love it! All you need now is a couple of rusty old bumper bars inside poking out the window! Definately need some photos outdoors, stuck away somewhere in an old winery in Tuscany somewhere!
SibeSeven
It's got that Real L@@K and Quality Finish written all Over! Absolutely Love One to Land in my Showroom! 'Prize Winning!'

thanks, i have done a few this way and it is a pretty easy and effective process. just takes a little courage to take the plunge the first time, but well worth the effort.
ranger blue
very nice runner queen C. lol
jeffy
Its a shelf dog. So much work making it look shoddy its fantastic. Beware of the rat in the glove box
mor10retro
It looks so good in a different way! Love the half open window and the weathered paint. Brilliant Christian!

Amazing. Looks like it´s been hiding under a tree for the last 20 years.
