Mk1 1.5GL Resto

Hi all, so the bodyshop finally took the golf in! Mechanically she's pretty good but the body is pretty rough, here are the pics of the strip down so far.  Luckily the interior is complete and undamaged, even the drivers seat cloth isn't worn or damaged on the side bolster, just need new seat base foam for the front seats, and it's the brown interior so super rare! 

Looks very solid really just patches required rather than entire panels.

I'd remove the interior, wrap it and keep it safe before it gets covered in oil, dirt, sparks, fag burns, foot prints that garages add as freebies

I have the interior in my garage, only the drivers seat in the car as i had to drive it to the body shop. The back end is worse than the rest, it's had the rear arches replaced but the paint is bubbling so don't know how bad it is until they grind off the paint and filler. Also the inner rear wheel wells are screwed, rust holes all around the rear seat belt mounts, and those parts aren't available any more so they will be fabricating those parts. Hopefully they don't find much else!!

Reminds me of my own 1.5GL restoration, keep nibbling at the mountain and you will eventually get it done.
