My original intent was to send the VW off to have all the old paint and rust sandblasted away. But I quickly realized I would be robbing my sons of the precious opportunity and experience of stripping a car down to bare metal by hand. It's good for their soul, right? Plus it's much cheaper. So I armed Joshua with an angle grinder and a stripping pad, put some safety glasses on him, gave him a quick demo, and turned him loose.
