My 83 Gti set to get full restoration
Oh great job on the door Andy - I'm dead jealous too - must be such a great feeling to have it wheeled off to the paint shop at last
I really can't wait to see this painted

I'm normally quite good at keeping the place tidy, it's just been a mad rush the past week and got neglected a bit

I'm more than sure the paint will be awesome Alfie, I've seen his work in the flesh now
Here's a little bit of my work as well. Started cleaning a few parts up ready for rebuild.
Hub carriers were a bit rusty, so gave the a good clean up with an assortment of wire wheels.

![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1395715/003_zps745815a0.jpg)
Masked them up and gave a couple of coats of etch primer.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1395715/005_zpsab493aec.jpg)
Top Tip - an spray can lid is the exact size to fit in the hub to keep the paint of the bearing faces.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1395715/006_zps62fd1aff.jpg)
Three coats of black enamel
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1395715/008_zps638da75f.jpg)
I will be pressing some new bearings in tomorrow at work.
Next I moved on to my inlet mani for the 1.8T
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1395715/013_zps6448a797.jpg)
Stripped it and wire wheeled it
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1395715/014_zpsca80dd59.jpg)
2 coats of etch again
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1395715/015_zpsa7552ff7.jpg)
finished off with 3 coats of Halfords VHT black, love the colour of this stuff, also did the rocker cover a while back.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1395715/017_zps1048a4f0.jpg)
Tried cleaning this fuel tank heat shield, but it's just falling to bits. I might try and make a one out of stainless at work, or might just wrap the exhaust, can't decide![O_o](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/blink.gif)
