My resto, lahzer green campaign!

Just a few pics of my mk1, body hopefully going for rust and paint doing soon.
So want to get it back on the road.
Litte bit of info…..1983 mk1, Had some BRM work at some time, so puts out roughly about 130bhp(i think)
It felt quick before Is stripped it.
I want to use it to help promote my drawings and to get back into the show sceane.

whats the schedule - would love to see that when its done - havent seen a lhasa campaign in ages - helious blue seems to be more common now  

Hopefully within the next year ish………
As baby on the way money will be tight.

looks like a good project - usual rust spots! you got the replacement panels yet? try Hadrian if you haven't.

Get it done quick mate, or be prepared to leave it a couple of years. You will not know what has hit you in the first 6 months.

Well sent mk1 for paint on sat, towed it there with my dads 130BHP TDi passat, went ok but cost me ?40 in fuel!
Mate of my brothers doing the work should be a good job.

While body is away getting paint (due back soon! )
Decides to work on engine/gearbox
So fitted new exhaust gasket/inlet gasket/clutch-pressure plate/rocker gasket
/sump gasket/all studs-nuts/painted block/painted gearbox-oil cooler-oil filter neck-water pump etc etc… you get the idea
