Only thing is you can spend as much time taking photos as working on the car
I know, was even worse when I work on the Rallye (which isnt very often at the moment :cry: ) cause I keep my own webpage with them photos on :dontknow:

Cant remember where I was up too with my little photo diary but I have got all the inner wings and sills completed now so there all solid again and sealed up better than new.
Just a few shots of the body prep, need to repair the rear panel and hopefully will have it all in primer by tomorrow night 8)

I decided to go for the nice mustard shade of high build primer rather than the commonly used red oxide or grey primer as seen on most other ratters
She's probably going to stay this way for a good few months now, just a few bits and pieces to put back on to make it all road legal again then I can tax it tomorrow 8)

lots of photos as usual, thankfully since my last instalment I have moved into my own house and built myself a nice big garage :mrgreen:
So heres where the story picks up….
Lots of photos as usual :roll:
First job was the n/s sill, and I have to say it was worse than the other
I have hacked the back out of the cabin area, this is going to be extended back creating some space in the back for the air ride components and hopefully room for a sub
With all the strength removed for the rear window section I pulled back the bent panel as best as it would go, its not quite straight but is so much better than it was.
Before & After
All done with the help of the trusty slide hammer and some bolts
I then got a bit sidetracked and started on something a little different.
Theres just one more bar to add across the front at the top, unless I decide to put door bars in but will have to see about that once I can get the caddy out of the garage and make all the floor brackets to fit the cage in properly.

It will all have to come back off again to be cleaned and for when I shultz the underside of the bed, but I just had to get it done to see some progress
Also, I am now pretty desperate to find a pair of good (will even consider bad ) genuine VAG mk1 wings, so if anyone has a set or knows of a set let me know!
Enjoy!

Its funny that cause I was just thinking the same thing looking at the date of them original posts!! it has taken me well over 12 months though to sort my house when I moved in, built the new garage massive driveway laid upvc windows, kitchen etc etc..
But its all done now and I'm back and fully focused :dance: also me and my dad have bought a bay camper between us which is taking my time up too. Thats had all the running gear off lowered, alloys etc.
I know its not mk1 related, but I just love the look 8)

But saying that this took a while to line up square etc and I am so glad its done and more or less finnished as for me its a huge hurdle to get over as fabricating this and the state of the rear bed (next weeks plan of attack!) was really stopping us getting any body prep done.
Anyway onto the photos, false firewall fabrication :mrgreen: ….
Just need to cut the front panel tomorrow and get it welded in which is going to be fun as my air metal shears have packed up.
I am also considering buying a body roller to help with the paint prep and underside prep, if anyone has any experiences or recomendations?
