Mk1 Citi update
Here are some pics of her stripped down, legal enough so i could drive her to bodyshop, thats why front bumper is still on for indicators.
Staying the same colour, i did some prep work myself to save on cost, i did the front bumper which had holes where previous owner fitted fogs, and removed wing arieal and filled hole on wing.
All door cards, seats & interior, window glass on both sides, wipers, handles and side mirrors removed and them ghastly mats lol, never to be seen again :mrgreen:
I have a spoiler which clips onto rear screen to be fitted whilst in bodyshop plus i have been busy respraying the alloys to give them a new lease of life, hope you agree with colour.
In i have sprayed in hammerite gloss black of which from my view turned out pretty well, excuse the one wheel which looks copper like, this is the light reflection, sorry about that
Now have a set of mudflaps ( Thanks Crazy quiff), i will leave them to last til after everything as been reinstalled.
front seats have been replaced with gti ones these and doorcards are being retrimmed in grey leather.
Anyway enough ranting, will keep posted once she comes back out with pics

Its upto 2 weeks, ?1000, might be around 12 days or so as he has another car to work on so going between one and the other, so he said 2 weeks to be safe, it does have quite alot of dings and some dents and usual rust on rear arches, fronts are mint, and surface rust at bottom of A pillars to be removed.chudd said
Same colour ?
When finished ?
Mind if i ask how much for the 2 week paint job?
Wheels look nice
Cheers………….
I wanted repsray in black but its the wife's car and she loves the original colour so it staying.
The last pic of alloys i took up close with camera and realised the flash on on thats what is giving the chrome look, but it is a black gloss spray paint by hammerite, approx 6 coats on each wheel.
Thanks for your comments guys

Guys have been doing a cracking job, rust cut out, new welds in on arches.
Will take pics of when primered, also one pic in there for the ladies or gents if your that way inclined :wink:
Will be out wednesday next week
Also chose not to put the bbs lookalike alloys on as they tend to be a pain to clean, so looked around for ones to suit the mk1, was looking for the old Voodoo 2 alloys, but hard to find so bought these, pic at bottom

I really like those wheels btw - don't think I've ever seen them on a Mk1 before, but they should look sweet, especially on a 5 door.

Is it common on areas i will mention for rust on mk1 as i had this on this car, it is A pillar to wing area (both sides) rain channel that runs down both sides of roof, rear arches and worst was the front panel around headlights.
This is my 1st mk1 and i would like to know as much about this car as possible.
Thanks for comments, it's nice to see and hear other member thoughts.
Best wishes :wink:

Also bert did your rocker cover have the vw logo on it, did you replace it for an original mk1,2 rocker? the reason i ask, is a fault i found was that slight bits of oil i found in air filter, it puzzled me until i removed the rocker cover and noticed that it did not have a oil splash guard, which i believe is due to the design of the original cover, therefore one would not fit thus oil coming into air filter.
I changed it and fitted a splash guard, no more oily air filter :wink:

front arch liners are a definate must do! they will save your wings and the door posts too.
get some wax into the sills too - lance inject it from each end!
yearly applied waste oil kept the floor pan in 98% rust free condition - so decent wax oil would be even better!
