my white gti

Here is my white mk1 shell bought off supercharged. It's hope fully going for paint next month doin all the welding and filling next weekend with my brother.

just as it arrived


just started putin old suspention back on so a can get it mobile


just did the small dent on the roof as a had a little filler laying around


while the girl freind was watchin tv a decided to do the rear wiring loom as i dont like the sleaving which the loom comes in, so a took it off and re did most of it in loom tape which personaly a think it looks neater

Surprised she let you do that on the carpet mate lol….. sleep with one eye open!!!  

Looks like a lot of work but so, so worth it when your done!!!  Keep it up mate!!

here is a few pics of it up to now its had to be stored for ages due to no were to keep it as we had to move out of are old unit, but no i have a new one 5 mins up the road from my house so a will be there all the time now don't think the girl friend will like it tho :?














cleaned up the rust and then used weld through zink primmer

heating the primmer up coz it was so cold and taking ages to dry

new one weld in and metal bonded in to help not rot again


started to fill the door and also treated the little bit of rust which was coming through at the bottom

Good Work!  How did you get the old tray out so neatly?  Cheers,

Daz.

I used a spot weld drill piece to get to most of the spot welds and a grinder with a stone disc on it to get the tray off from the leg, then mig plugged it back on but also use metal bond to put it on as it is suppose to be as strong as weld and u can weld through when wet

lookin goooood

here is some pics of what i have done since crumb

took out all the crap that i have gathered for spares ect which was just thrown in the back from when i moved it.


put it up in the air with some slightly random axle stands  :?


its now up in the air just need to lift it up at the back a bit higher


its now ridden a bit higher than the caddy  


all stone chipped




1.8 gti engine





 i have but my inner drivers side rear arch in, as some goon who had the car before cut it away to fit bigger wheels on  :banged: which made me a lot more work

new arch


new inner arch outer lip










 





inner all zink primed up to help provent rust


outer on and filled






arch just dolphine glazed up


put a guide coat on so a could get the shape of the lines better and also help with any small wobbels in the filler
