I accidentally uncovered a 90s german icon and need your help.

Thank you guys for the support! You are insane! If you want to see the original videos on how this started check out my private instagram: H4ppyCrash I want to mention again that I DO NOT want to profit from this whole find and attention privatly. Every cent donated to the GoFundMe goes directly to Frank and pays for the reconstruction of the paintjob. Everything else is still my part as it should be. Cheers!

And to think it was just lurking there this whole time… a sleeping beauty! Can’t wait to see this progress; courage! 💪🤙

I thought I was having a stroke when I started at the roof...

[@Hugh_magoo]

Man i could only imagine how surreal you felt in the moment you realised it wasn’t primer. This car chose you

[@welcometotheworkshop]

@@Hugh_magoo can't even put it in words what went through my mind

[@Webb9167]

Wow what a Dimond in the rough that paint job is insane. Who in their right mind would cover that up man thats crazy

[@TOPHATVAMP]

Crazy how cars can have personalities, and this one was tired of hiding it. The fact that the 80s and 90s style are coming back because now we have the technology to retromod these cars to our personal comfort is just awesome . I love the fact that this car had a hidden back story, and to come back in this new generation is wild, not just photos of the car but also in the digital world now. And to see Forza 5 update to vaporwave theme and this car in the game, it's just awesome.. looking foward to see you on VinWiki and talking about it

[@welcometotheworkshop]

I'm thinking the same thing dude. Not only the amount of coincidences and planning, that happened like 40 years ago and lead me to uncover this, but also the the timing is unreal. Forza makes the game synthwave, the 80s are coming back to trends and many many more people see this story because the web is much more developed since the 90s. Would be a really awesome story for VINWiki, not sure if they would want to cover that tho. Also at this point I'm just the manager of the project 😂

You saved the car from the scrapyard so it rewarded you.

[@ABusFullaJewz]

This is so unbelievably cool. Thank you for choosing to restore it to what it once was

[@welcometotheworkshop]

It is my responsibility to restore it 🫡

Tja da hast du was ganz besonderes gefunden. Ich bekomm da Gänsehaut, weil dir das Auto plötzlich von seinem früheren Leben erzählt

[@welcometotheworkshop]

Da sagste was....

[@olekattke6505]

Moin! Hast du die Fender Flares selber angebracht? Mega geiles Video und was für ein Lack😍

[@welcometotheworkshop]

Moje^^ ja die hab ich selbst montiert. Auf den meisten Bildern sieht man aber nicht wie schlecht das eigentlich meinerseits verarbeitet war 😛 danke, hab mir ein bisschen mehr Mühe gegeben als bei den anderen^^

[@aliencraft18]

WOW! Really an incredible find. Why anybody would cover this amazing paint job in some ugly rattle-can black, that may be left unanswered. Something I personally wonder why did you think that the turqouise color is primer or filler? I never have seen anything in that color, normally its grey, white, beige, etc.

[@welcometotheworkshop]

I was 20 back then and very inexperienced in paint prep and such so I simply thought that it has to be something like that because: why would anyone spray their car like that? 🤓
