Yes keeping it completely standard, only changing a few small bits and pieces - The engine is staying standard as is the interior -
A few small suttle upgrades for the exterior but thats it -
All the underneath of the car is now layered with protectant paint, as are all the arches - Sanded away for hours then applied paint -
Both doors and the exterior were sanded down and painted also -
More pics to come soon -
Any suggestions welcome -
Thanks -
Pierce

GAA Field somewhere just outside the city
Very good show as the weather does be great
Have a look back at events in vagdrivers and you'll see some pic's
I think it's the best Ireland has to offer in the line of a vw show

Looks great Pierce. Are the BBS 15 inch?

lovely looking car mate , im jus at the starting point on my 1.3 driver , the car got keyed (scratched) by some yobs, im 17 and still at school, so moneys hard ,
how much you pay for the respray?
cheers james
Hey James -
I know what you mean about the money, I am still in collegee, only 22 myself - Started this project at 21, its hard to get the money together but it all pays off in the end -
The respray was done by a friend in Ireland - I stripped the car to the shell and he did his magic - He had it for about 4 months before I got it back - The price I paid was in euro so dont know how much sterling it is
![:lol:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/lol.gif)
Let me know your progress with your mk1 -
Starting at an early age means more time for learning :wink: -
