No they are coming off, just deciding whether to have a cl small one on the rears to protect them from stone chips, but i think i won't bother as its not my daily.
And once my blue TT leather interior goes in, should be amazing, ready for some trips on the costa del sol.

Finally managed to get some phots since car has come home from engine/suspension and brake works:
Engine in:
G/Box, lower strut and new bushes:
So plan now is to get things sorted for MOT, so new windscreen and tyres, and run it in for a couple of months. Interior will go in durring this time, and then we can start sorting body for paint in the new year.

Quick update, had to abandon the miami blue, as budget couldn't stretch that far, however the respray is going ahead with original colour.
Its at the body shop now and will be ready in 3 weeks, so plenty of pics when its out.
Then to fit the blue leather TT interior so i can take it out for a quick spin over xmas.

Looking forward to the pics in a few weeks.

Thanks,
should be pretty much finished end of next week week as these guys don't have much work on at the moment.
Just finally managed to get some thin chrome side trim as well, so the exterior finishing touches are almost sorted.
Nest big job is the TT interior, which i will trial fit once its out of the body shop, however i am now thinking to get this retrimmed in the new year, probably white with blue piping, as well as the door cards, and a new carpet. Caught the bug properly now and want it perfect.
Though nothing like doing everything in the wrong order
As i need to refurb the wish bones and rear beam, which i thought we be ok for now, and then stuck in a bling engine lol.

Well the paint job is finished, and the car is sat on the driveway:
and
couple of finishing touches required on exterior including smoked indicators and rear crystal lights, then to start getting the blue TT leather interior installed.
but so pleased with paintjob.
also this is quite handy as well:

Still a bit of work needed.
I need to get the interior in, and fit rear lights, and smoked indicator lenses, plus still some play in the gear lever even though has new TSR linkage, guess needs some adjustment. Also getting some play in the steering, so hopefully nothing too serious. as for the mileage, its in Euros but still 180,000 miles +

Paintwork looks lovely mate.
Only thing I would say is the wheels look way to big for the car.

The wheels have been a dilema, they're 16s, but i do love them, b uti am tempted to go down to a 15, and really would love some OZ turbos, but untill funds allow.
Though in the mean time i am tempted to swap with my dads which are in the garage where this is hidden (most of you will probably recognise this ):
