Picked up my Seats 2 day and took them bad boys straight to Transcal. They have done a lot of work for me in the past most recently in the X5 and did a first class retim, so obviously they were the only choice for the MK1 Project.
Had a long chat around colour choices and subtle mods as they are doing the dash and remaining interior…… Watch this space for one very special set of seats indeed.

After spending the last 2 days down the Garage things have finally moved on . The front and rear valance have been removed, arches have been dressed back and corrosion cut out. The Doors wings, bonnet and tailgate have been preped. After many many hours I've also managed to remove the Sound proofing from the WHOLE interior, which was a bloody nightmare. After a quick seeing to from the orbital sander the interior will be good to go…… 8)
Found a crazy amount of corrosion around the filler neck area in both the inner arch and rear quarter.
Chassis legs have been trimmed in preperation for the pannels to flush them off
It?s in a sorry state but I'm sure weel get there, at least I hope so
Going forward, the engine bay needs to be finished few mods and then primed

Over the last week the progress has slowed down a wee bit. Front and rear panels have been welded up in place, the rear quarter had been repaired along with the inner arches.
I?ve seen a few people remove the underseal and paint the inner arch but most seem to stone chip then paint, however I wanted to go for as good a finish on the inner arch as the rest of the car. So there was no choice but to fill and smooth off, took ages and trying to recreate the lines to retain the original look was a nightmare.
The chassis legs have also been flushed off, templates took ages to make up but look the business when welded in.
Also spent the last few weeks buying up brand new parts, everything is being replaced with new, from fuse box to seals and grommets

Great work!
for inner rears - epoxy mastic would have been the job - its a paint and hardner which can be put on bare steel - has rust inhibiters - dires air proof and can be sanded etc and will accept most paints over the top - i used it - 2 coats on floor and inner guards - then a light stonchip for a little texture and then 2 top coats and a laquer…
