[Vwdiesel] Green Striped Engine

[Erik Lane]

yeah, that really scared me when i saw it, too! sure
don't want paint up there. at least the picture down
below of the black painted one looks like it was done
better, tho he still painted some sealing surfaces!
grrr..... don't think i'll be buying anything from
them... sloppy.
