my mk1 build up thread.
i've started working on the mk1 today and found abit more rust than i thought.
the front pannel was abit too rusty but the expence to replace would be silly so i've gone about fixing it myself with alot of welding and plating.
started off just by stripping it to its panties.
some nasty rust but will be sorted very soon indeed.
i've cut away the bad rust and cutting some steel to replace it with tomorrow.
also stripped interior just to see if we could fint the master cylinder becuase it wasnt in the bonnet and i had pretty much no brakes.
the reason to having no brakes was because the front brakes had air in and just needed bleeding but the rear drums we totaly gone, i now need 4 new shoes and 2 slave clyinders. so im on the funt for them tomorrow.
then soon going to red oxide the inner wings and seal them and spray black.
any commets or tips welcome.
cheers

wow some serious rot thair mate and as for you red oxiding the front inners make sure you strip off all the seam sealer. Best tool to do this is a drill and a wire wheel good luck
Get some clean and strip discs for removing rust and seam sealer, there the dogs danglies. I have saved so much time by using them on mine.
First Golf, lots of work. I've started so I'll finish!

Check out an S2 bulkhead: -

Btw you should definitely put it back to the original green - it's too cool not to
