$650 1973 VW Beetle

Okay.
Cool.
Meh.
Yeah, I read about how the rust needs to be religiously checked. Especially behind the back seat, where apparently fires can start if it has rusted through, and the battery touches it.
That's pretty neat.

What color you gonna repaint it?

I don't know to be honest.

I was just thinking that I could give it a quick fix for the moment, and use it as a daily driver because I thought it would be cheap (and it is), but I don't know if I should just choose a different car that's more reliable for a high price.

If I were to paint it, however, I would probably choose that sort of vintage baby blue. The thing is, that baby blue doesn't look good new in my opinion. The worn, blue color that has been sitting down is what I'm talking about.

What would you paint it?

Either harvest gold or baby blue would look great on it. Perhaps a caramel brown too. Gotta stick to the decade it was in.

Forest green like this would be godly as well.

Eep. Wrong pic.

Personal suggestion no.1

Personal suggestion no.2.
As much as I like red, I'd seriously go with the blue one personally. Just my taste.

I'd never go with yellow, black, white or silver though.
