Mortz Mk1 Cab Restoration

top work mate, before and after shots of that roof clean are mint! done a great job

cant believe you were looking for electric frame,for so long i had my old electric roof frame listed on here for last 3 months of last year, outerskin was shot, but im only in Bristol , ended up giving it to the scrap metal guys round my area :-(

any ways alls good that ends well, ya cabby really coming on nicely mate

Thanks…..to be fair even though the chap said the hood was mohair….it would not have come up as clean as the vinyl….no rips tears or patches….signs of a new hood at some point in the not too distant passed…..I'd still like to have a mohair roof at some point in the future

What I have now….I'm more than happy

Wow what a difference on the roof mate.

How long was your car in the bodyshop altogether?

Ohhh about 8 weeks or so…I hear your's is going in shortly for some pampering 8)

Mine needed a LOT of preppin though…yours should not take that long…

Only 8 weeks, seemed longer than that.

Yeah its going in this thursday.

I read you had your front splitter refurbed, did the bodyshop do that for you?

Probably was longer….fed up of counting the weeks!!!!
Had the lower splitter refurb done by a specialist Called LVV…they are mobile so he / John can visit your house…..leave the splitter on though…it's easier for him to work on  

Ah rite i know the people.

Ill get in touch with them after the cars done.

Pulled the golf out of the garage for the 1st time since the winter kicked in last year

 

Looks tidy. Just seen your MK1 mini in your sig, I used to own a '61 and a '65. Any pics to make me jealous?! lol

Have tonnes of pix on my Mini

Here's a few …before…during and after

The golf is looking stunning mate, you must be chuffed with the finish.

Mine went in last thursday.

One thing I learned from the mini project was " take your bloody time " it will be worth it

Yes mate i am very pleased….i popped in to see yours on sunday…..easy paint job for you..looked very straight

Should MOT it in the next month or 2 once i have the rear bumper and boot re - done due to that bloody cabinet coming off the wall and scratching it...will then run it during the summer ...then start on some engine detail during the cold months

Same sort of plans I got for mine mate.

I told mal to take as long as he needs and do whatever needs doing.

Its only been gone a few days yet it seems like months lol.

Your beauty is in safe hands....what colour is your car?...thought it was helios until i seen it in the flesh

Classic blue metalic mine is.

Similar to helios blue but with a hint of purple.

Im really looking forward to getting it back, its been a long wait for it to go in.

Nice.....what paint code is that?

LC5N is the code.

Im over that way thursday to see the garage just behind him about fitting some new suspension for me.

Fit em you self…rear shocks a piece of pee…front too if you get the camber spot on…if not trip to "slow" fit to set it up for you…won't cost u much
