after removing all the undersealer i found more rot . so i attacked all that.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1293214/2854E71E-47E8-4DDD-A22B-392C64D55D80-1989-000001C8B947565F_zps0db516d5.jpg)
then running gear refitted .

which then led me to finishing off the roof

here is how i got the roof
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1293214/7B28EABD-2070-48DF-A9F5-842D65365C34-1989-000001C93B827390_zps81558af3.jpg)
so the underneath is finished for now and back on the floor. just need filler work done to the roof ,rear archs and back panel and ready for primer again

i then went sanded it with p600 then gave it all another coat of primer

ended up primering the roof twice as i was not happy with it . So then i wet sanded it with p600 then p800 .
Then degreased the car and thought might aswell paint it.
so hit the shell with some colour..

so i finally finished painting all the panels .
brought a bonnet but it was full of filler and was rotting from the inside so another bonnet was found and painted.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1313418/BA8E313B-177A-4042-8924-77036D142FD6-159-00000018955217B8_zpsc5628606.jpg)

so now i can start fitting it all back together.
so i brought a 1.8 20v turbo aum engine on the cheap to rebuild.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1313418/A2496268-2824-452C-8305-F43DFB25B4B9-159-0000001B7982306C_zpsb5cd71d8.jpg)
but then i found another engine on here and was not from from me . so a deal was made and went to collect it.
at the same time the seller was selling some mounts so i thought i ll be best to buy them aswell.
![](https://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa465/astraman18/F70E81D9-4963-4C04-AD7B-1E7019F77751-159-0000001D0575292C_zpsddaaabf7.jpg)
i got too excited so painted the bottom end quickly.
So on a scrapyard hunt i managed to fine a few 20 v parts . and the best find was a ko3s turbo
