Get it Fixed on a Budget...I wish

I have named the thread this as I got laid off and found work but at a very low rate so I'm a lot more limited to what I can do compared to before but I still want to do things proper.




Looks fine from there but thats the only side trim it had so it needed that.

Some Bad Stuff












Previous owner may have had battery acid poured over the car?



Horrible Badgeless Grill and Dent




Dent!


Lovely Interior


Thats going to be hard
















Now the Turn around




Stone chip paint on top and fibreglass under neath not to fussed really as it doesn't get seen.


Slide Hammer out the dent by the rear light as best we could so needed least filler as possible


Them Gti stickers down the side were not comming off for love nor money so I took the zip wheel to them and got right back to bare metal.




Fibre glassing the boot




Zip Wheeld and Fibre glassd more rust









More recently on the steels as the gti wheels are for sale


After replacing the whole are on the near side I had to patch the off side arch


because of someones really good plating to get it through a MOT



No rot


Thats the furthest I have photo's wise.

I have bought a lowering kit as the suspension was horrible leaking shocks deffo a MOT fail
New Disc's and Pad's
Polybushes for wish bones
Ball Joints
Track Rod Ends
Gti Splitter


Fixing scuttle and getting it all ready for top coat in the next couple of weeks should be going Cherry Red like my old mk2 simular to existing colour but not metalic.

Nice, keep the pics & info coming

Well lets skip a little bit of work but…

Stone chip front valance…. not too sure if i like it or not…

 I did the majority and it was my first time got a few reactions with the paint so I'l be wet flatting the car putting stopper on them and painting it again also found 3 or 4 tiny dents that went un noticed before

nice car, not sure about bridging holes with fibreglass..
