hello! just thought i would post some pictures of my mk1, im slowly restoring the body work, i have owned my mk1 for 4 years now, i think i have done  a reasonable amount considering im only 15! so far i have:

put a complete new front panel on
2 new wings
new bonnet
new rear arches
yet to put on 2 complete sills
and (if i can find one) a small light rear panel
i have also resprayed most of the front end.

MK 1 RESTO

Good effort on the car mate keep it up.As things progress wack on somemore pics.
I'd keep the original big rear lights if I were you,I don't think they look right when they have been altered with a later reg on them but that is just my opinion.
Keep up the good work

Great work for 15 - where did you learn how to do bodywork? The panels look pretty well fitted…

Keep it up - A restored Mk1 is a Joy…

lovely work going on and only 15... good for you... great choice for a first car. this will be a lovely car once completed and hopefully all ready for when you can drive.. and its a four door as well, something a little different, I like it.
