Gussets now fully welded into place, note that the originally interior vinyl trim still in place, but protected from heat/weld by using metal tape
Gusset and A Pillar bars finished in a coating of zinc rich (90%) galvanised primer.

So I ordered plenty of dremel cutting discs
And both screen repair panels from VW heritage

And hopefully the remaining part of the repair panel can now be used to repair the top of the screen

Great condition too
It's a bit of a shame to then strip them down!
To get a height adjustable seat base.
Next I need to remove the seat base and start welding in a new seat frame.

Dashboard has been carefully refitted around the A pillar roll cage bars, allowing the main air vents to be also reconnected.

Spot welds removed and seat bottoms removed.
The drivers seat (right hand side) is high adjustable and sits about two inches lower than a standard seat If you do plan on using MK2 seats in a MK1, bear in mind that you need to switch over the seat forward/back release lever. The lever on the MK2 seats are on the opposite side to a MK1 seat. So that will be the next job on the list to do.

Before
Afterwards:
The roof dent was a little problematic, due to having the roll cage and headlining in the way the only option was the pull the dent out rather than push from underneath. Only consideration was the risk of pulling of the paint, which can be just seen in the photo below. Not a big issue, as the roof will be sanded down and re-painted anyway.

In preparation before getting the car booked into the body shop for paint, Martin from Paintless Dent Removals in East Yorkshire has done his magic on the doors and front wings today.

Serious work going into this. Martin did the dents on my golf shell too, he does a really good job.
Are you local to Hull?

Thanks.
I'm more over towards York than Hull. Martin was in my area, so took the advantage of him knocking out a few dinks!

Four spot weld holes drilled in the cage ID plate and shaped ready to attach to one of the bars on the roll cage.
(Bonnet also given a quick polish )

Hopefully this will speed them up a bit. If not, I'll be looking to upgrade to a MK2 or MK3 motor.
