I guess something like that!  

Only asking as wasn't sure if you were looking to re-fit it or do away with it all together.

You could cut a big hole in your roof and fit a nice webasto roof conversion

Nige did a great job at this and I sat in his Golf one year at the AGM when it was peeing down with rain and it was water tight.


Food for thought

yea andy the webasto would be a nice touch but we dont get any bloody sun!! lol just gonna leave it how it came out the factory.  

Lol - we had some today - that's twice this year now  

summer has officially peaked!! lol

Yip. Lovely weather for some of yhe Scottish contingents visit to volksfling at Biggar. So much so that parts of me are now the same colour as my car.
What happened to the tailgate? 
I take it you have sourced another one. I cant believe how bright the centres are on the interior, pity about the worn bolster, but shouldnt be too hard to put right. Car looks good cant wait to see it when you get it back from the paint shop.

tailgate has been swapped for a used part as the original was beyond repair…..interior is amazing for the age, have got another passenger seat to make the bolster good.

yea am getting excited now cant wait to start rebuild got a mountain of parts in bags lol

I know the feeling. Hope your memory is better than mine. As it was a nightmare trying to remember where everything was.

really hope so Macca………feeling f###ed off at the min!! lol

You get days like that mate. Thats probably why I took 5 years to do mine. Just keeping looking towards the end result. 

small update due to panels arriving late :-

repair panels









passenger rear arch ans sill straightened / repaired









front panel straightened out, was in pretty bad shape





work is going a bit slow due to bodyshop being busy with other small jobs!!    

You'll have no regrets once it's finished Dips, I'm sure

It looks like you have a pretty strong car to start with

ah cheers andy, need all the encouragement i can get!! yea the shell is very solid apart from drivers side rear arch/sill area, and drivers wing (usual spots)

i am in desperate need for a passenger door too.

cheers
