hi there, firstly, nice work. i love those smooth engine bays. and secondly a question if i may, what did you use to remove the paint and sealer from the bay?
Used mainly a selection of wire wheels on the angle grinder also used various flap discs and painstripper at some point

I'm looking forward to the pics of the roof replacement
Are you reskining the roof?
NO not a chance i'm touching that part.
I'm on the lookout for a local panelbeater/old timer who will have the old skills to do the job.
Looking at it it doesn't look a bad job to do but you get one chance with these things

Yes mate the outer lip on the roofskin inbetween the rear 1/4 panel and roof has rotted through so I needed a new roof anyway.
Just doing what i can in my spare time at the moment.

I run a mk2 scirocco scala 020 gearbox with nothing else but the diff pins changed for a bolt kit.
Manifold was off ebay but they don't sell them anymore has been modified quite a bit aswell.
Intercooler is off a VW T5 van(same as merc sprinter)
