Really looking forward to seeing this finished.

Cant wait to get mine painted later this year.

Been looking at your pix too…..your new carpet looks clean!…best u buy a pair a slippers just for the Golf ! :wink:

Im suprised its still spotless.

Went to have a chat with the guy that done yours earlier today.

Gave me a quote (without any hidden nasties popping up once the arches ect are taken off)

Very happy with the setup hes got there, plus the length of time he wants the car shows hes not going to rush it.

Just got to save the cash now.

Finished off refitting the kit and bumpers tonightA few bits and bobs to finish it off …..friggin cold in that garage!

 
Back to the body shop week wednesday for a 3000 grit mop n polish….should have a top class finish once done  8)

Looking great mate.

What sideskirt seal trim did they use?

Or is it the original one reused?

Original re-used they are ok but not mint.....would have like to get hold of some new ones though :cry:

Ill let you know if i do come across any.

A few coats of the shiney stuff and a machine buff  x a couple of hours later

Fantastic paint job Mortz

Oh my word!!!  Who needs a mirror in the morning when you can use your cabby?!!  Looking sweet as

Cheers all….well happy with the finish….cost me a friggin fortune…..will post costs once the cab is driving into the sunset  :wink:

Hey, but you got the car for peanuts so it's all good!  N looks well worth it…I need to get saving

Guess your right……….if carlsberg did paint jobs this would probably be one of the best paint jobs in the world  :roll:

Just thinking how many beers I could have bought instead  

Thought I'd update the lighting with some White LED's






Changed 1 front side light to show you the difference  

looks good

NO NO NO NO NO….

LED's don't suit it IMO.
