Back in Action!Been polishing
After my old landlord decided to sell his land with my old workshop its all been up in the air a bit lately sorting out another one.
After pulling out lots of hair,spending lots of money i`m now back in action with Mk1 malarkey again
Here`s my latest offering,another Y plate Lasha green number needing attention…
She`s in pretty good shape apart from your usual back panel and arches rot
So out comes all the rust..
While the welding was going on i got down to rubbing all the old paint off down to the original VW primer just to be safe

Repaint price
Hi mate, nice work. How much are you charging for the work on this car? I'm doing the welding on mine but should be in the same condition as this one when finished. Just wanted a rough price on how much mine would cost.
cheers
