Cracking start mate, how long do you think the builds going to take? What kind of power are you hoping to get from the 1.8t? Any ideas on a colour scheme or is it too early for all that yet!?

might be a silly question but are you not meant to leave the roof cross brace's in when you fit the carbon roof skin?

Its back....

The Golf is now back from being stripped and to describe how it looks in one word "amazing".
When it left us just over 2 weeks ago we weren't sure what to expect when it came back. Was there going to be more holes than metal, would we have to start all over again. The answer is no, the shell is in great condition for its age few issues but nothing an order from VW Heritage wont sort out.
Bit of rust in the back panel, was easier to remove it and replace with an OEM unit
