Excellent, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. Hope it goes well.

I saw your request for a sprayer. Are in in Blackburn? I work there.

PM with your location and I'll pop by some time!!

Looks like you're not skimping on anything, should come ou well.

our units in lower darwen mate but i live in haslingden, yeah looking for a gud painter to do my car, yeah wanna make it right first time so think its worth spending abit more jus to finish it off. cheers for the coments guys

look like this is going to be good  

Undate on car it's nearly ready for paint now after having new rear arches fit aswell as a bottom rear panel.  Also since last time I posted I've got myself a 5 speed box for my 1.3 with a adjusted mount so it fits straight in. And have got my self a mint gti interior. Will update with some new pics shortly hoping to have it back on the road mid next year.

after finishing stripping the shell of its wiring and any bits and pieces i then fitted it to this -



then i had the rotten rear arches and panel removed and had new 1s installed







then had the arches blended in and at the same time had the arches rolled and sealed












now ive cleaned all the inner arches and engine bay with thinners to remove all the built up dirty and grease




smoothed the tailgate


started flatting down all the panels


hopefully want to have it in paint over christmas.
