the more you use a boat, the better it runs. the longer you let it sit, the more it breaks. so yes, i have a very good excuse to use Mayuki as much as possible. she loves it, and so do i.

i did the easy part of spraying it. the first car i painted was my VW Squareback when i was 15 years old. something i’ve always loved to do.

took 9 coats and 3 hours of time. and when you see the results, it’s very satisfying. most people rent professional spray booths, but we do the backyard job. haha.

i sprayed it barefoot. and it took me a while to get all the paint off. in fact, i still have paint on my foot today. haha.

now the fun part of putting the buggy back together. Nate helping out my brother. my brother loves to be the mechanic. i love to be the surfer. so while my brother is working on the buggy, i’m working on my cutbacks. haha.
