All rust has been cut out and new metal let in - not much really. Few surface rust bits to clean up and treat.
Old paint was rubbish - resprayed very badly with little or no prep
Even sprayed over the old side stripes and stuck new ones on over the top - even then they wern't straight.
This time it's gonna be done properly.
The wheels are just a spare set while the Pirelli's get refurbed and powder coated. They will be for sale when I'm done with this one.

Probably you can refit everything with your eyes shut.
Will be a proper motor when done. 8)
Interestingly enough, I went to see a silver campaign today with view to buying. It looked fab until you got close up as it has been fully resprayed. But rusty rear valance (sprayed over), wheel well gone, paint runs, orange peel effect here and there. Shame that someone didn't take a little longer in the prep work. What is it? - spend 80% on prepping and 20% painting.
But still it looked ok. Not worth ?2,500 asking for it. More like ?1,600.
Good luck with it Rich

Should be a really nice car once done. Are we taking bets on whether you will be able to part with it though eh
![:D](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/grin.png)
My money is on the silver one staying and one of the black ones getting sold personally
![:lol:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/lol.gif)
Just a thought but might be an idea to maybe snap lots of pics as you put it back together? That kind of info would make a great how to for people refurbing parts of their own cars. Thinking about things like door innards and waterproofing assembly, dash re-assembly, wiring loom routing, that kind of thing.
Cheers,

You could also recoup some of your time by selling your resto story in pdf format on eBay of course! :wink:

Good job I've got a digi camera. I've taken quite a few photos during progress but will do a few focused (for want of a better word) rebuild themes. I rekon Door assembly, headlining and sunroof ones would be most useful. Any more?
