Yea sometimes he does open if he needs to crack on with stuff….you won't find Mal there on  sunday though

Ah rite lol.

Ill ring him tomorrow for a chat.

I visited the bodyshop earlier and its starting to take shape.

They had a few customers who didnt drop cars off this week so they pretty much just worked on mine.

Theres still quite a bit that needs doing but its getting there.

Excuse the poor quality phone pics.

Looking good 8) Hopfully mine will look like that 1 day :mrgreen:

You will be getting more excited by the day young man  :cheer:  

I wish I had the opportunity to actually take mine off the road for a full respray. Using it as a daily, so won't get the chance without taking time off, but were that muddy at the mo that I don't notice anyway Lol.
I love the colour, and with the badges n decals, It's going to look amazing!

Are you finding it stressful Ceri?

I certainly did this time last year, whenI was hunting an original wing and sorting the hood etc!!

Bouchay - cheers mate, the respray almost didnt happen at one point.

Massbad69 - tell me about it, its a nice feeling to see it coming together. Its first outing will be the AGM.

Kaylee81218 - mine was being used as a dailey but me and the future wife have just bought our first house so my new dailey will be her ford ka :-)

I was at the beginning Dan but luckily the only parts I need to source are new side trim, side indicators and windscreen seal so quite easy to find.

I think the most stressful bit is funding it all :-)

Nice one Ceri - car is coming together all right - exciting times - looking forward to seeing this complete at the agm.

Thats what I was dreading the most, luckily it was just the slam panel and filler neck hole needed attention.

I knew they did before hand so not to bad.

My other half's daily is a mk2 1.8T, and newly converted, so I'm still not allowed to touch. Boys and their toys!

Love the build thread anyway

Its being done in the original colour LC5N.

The photos I posted are in primer.

Picked up this little kit earlier from my local poundland.

If any of you have fitted the badge refurb kit then you will know that they slightly overhang on some letters which in time will lead to them peeling off.

Was going to use a stanley knife to trim any excess off where needed but mine was to bulky to use.

Should be much easier with this kit.

Top work with the badges, are there kits available for all mk1s or just the cabbys? (im thinking tintop gti)
