Very impressive - will be stunning when it is finished - keep up the good work!
Out of interest, do you work in a body-shop to do all this good stuff, or are you having to job it out?

When I see work like that I always look at mine and think I'm only doing a tenth of a job!!

thank you. No I don't work in a body-shop nor am I a mechanic. My brother got me in to golfs when I was young and since then I've messed around with them. I brought my first golf when I was about 17/18year old it was a sliver gti which i restored with him.
90% of the work I've carried myself. The other 10% is things like power-coating, acid stripping and chroming & painting is sent out to other company's.
HERES A FACT:
Between me, my brother and our friend Nav, we have 16 mark 1 golfs, heres a few of them… 8)
