Thank you! Hopefully over summer get it back to gather.
Sorry did not realise pics not in order!!!
Should be:
Red with dark etch was once all repair was done. New archs welded lead loaded and bit of filer.
Grey primer is slick sand blocked down followed by pinky primer ready for final block. One swage line out so I sort that first and go from there.
Slow progress but getting there!!

Did you prep and paint the shell but leave rust spots?
- 1978 MK1 GL 2 door with 2.0 16v ABF, twin 40's, Recaros, lots of suspension mods. I'll get it back on the road one day.
- 1991 MK2 GTI 4 door. Was my daily doing over 1000 ks a week until it hit a truck. RIP. Got another one now and loving it!
- 1991 MK2 GTI 4 door for parts.
- 1998 Seat Cupra + another used as a donor for the MK1
- 1999 Passat Wagon. Needs street cred but at least it's a manual.

Grinded it off the rust, then rust protection over top.

Not done an update in ages so thought it was a good time to do one while on lockdown…
Just need to remember how to upload the pictures.
Since I last posted I done the following:
Suspension built up and fitted
Gearbox rebuilt
Short Block horned and built up, new pistons, shells, crank polished etc
Head flowed, cleaned, new tappets and Cam.
Tall block built up and fitted.
New fuel and Brake lines
Brake set up built up,
Engines parts powder coated, Pulleys, cam cover rocker cover etc etc

After buying many K-Jet parts and not getting anywhere I have decided to go down the Twin 40 route.
So bought a set of twin 40s only when they turned up they was twin45
After doing research, Chris worked the Jets idle etc etc to run with the engine
4-2-1 manifold was fitted and exhaust.
Set the carbs up on the Exhaust gas analyser we have at work.
In-between in the evening my work colleague and myself have been flatting and polishing. Not easy when you painted 3 years ago and used anti scratch clear coat ….

Plan post COVID 19 once back at work neaten up the engine bay,
Sort suspension out as springs are moving.
Start getting the wring sorted inside new ISO for head unit, speaker wires and Alarm.
Cavity wax applied
New headliner and carpet in.
Seats need attention would like to keep the standard GTI paten. So I start getting quotes on re trims etc any recommendation be much appreciated.
Finish Polishing.
Fit the windows.
