Planning to restart a big rebuild
I’ve bought as much of the parts made by Meyle, as I believe these are are an oem supplier. so the start of parts, front wishbones, wishbone bushes, ball joints, bolts, track rod ends, CV joints, inner and outer, bilstein shocks and eibach springs, top mounts, bump stops, rear axle mounts, fuel pump, rear discs, rear calipers, wheel bearings, front drive hubs, timing belt, alternator belt, filters,
Still quite a few things to buy, want to upgrade the front brakes to 256mm, I have the bigger servo fitted but will replace the master cylinder and again as it’s been left dry all this time, rear regulator is free but I think I’ll change it out when I’m doing the pipes and under body clean up.

Nice delivery today with some genuine Scirocco injector pipes, certainly makes a visual improvement

So up on stands it went, wishbones, struts & hubs off the front, rear beam off, tank out, shocks off, brake pipes off and out with the grinder and wire wheel, seems it's been "Ziebarted" underneath and of course this just adds to the pleasure of lying on your back getting covered in everything.
On the plus side the floor pans are in pretty good shape, with some light spidering where the coating has come off, but I'm afraid there are a few spots where the cutting disc and the grinder are going to have to join the party. Couple of tiny pin holes in the boot floor, two 10p sized holes in both rear chassis legs and a little bit of work for the fuel tank vent pipe channel.
One floor pan still to do but the coating look in better condition so hoping for the best, and for my arms and neck to recover…

Just the rear chassis legs to do, and 2 small patches in each to cut out and weld in
Found a few small pinholes in one side of the boot floor and under the rear seat, but not too bad I guess
Repair section made for the fuel breather and splash guard bracket and the first floor pan in zinc primer
