    Latest count, have found and paid for a NOS genuine inner fender ( guard) for the RHS damaged one, just need an economical way to get it here from New York..

    Have 2 new sills complete and 2 rear arches complete from last UK shipment,

    UK cars are showing as much rust damage as my own car for the other sections.

    More breaking news as it happens...
    Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    Cheers,
    Grant...

                Project has been in a holding pattern mainly due to the lack of replacement panels and ongoing business commitments .

                The front inner fender NOS item I have purchased is now in LA awaiting shipping to Perth, should be leaving in the next fortnight, then only a 2 month wait till it arrives.

                The other salvaged panels from Dr Dan's stolen rocco ( in UK) are currently on the water, should be here in about 5 weeks time. Managed to purchase another factory black leather interior from him also ( minus the front seats ), so that will come in handy !!

                Pics when it all gets here..

                Benny, prob not going to the UK til january now....

                  Managed to collect the parts from UK last weekend,



                  sections will be caustic dipped and prepped ..



                  Leather door cards were imaculate, last set i purchased from UK had massive speaker holes hacked into the front door cards..

                  For some unknown reason I only recieved the backrest from the rear seat...

                  Panel from the states is on the water still ...more as it comes.

                        Well time has been sadly lacking of late, The US parts are here and still going thru customs clearancing as I write this. Hopefully this time i will collect them and they wont be damaged by the morons employed down there.

                        Off to UK next month for a social visit and some parts collecting, then when back I have about 4 weeks work booked up already ( and i have'nt left yet !!)

                        Come xmas I need to get the cabrio repairs completed and the new hood fitted, hopefully then i can spend some time on this project, wanting to have the shell work done over summer to give the paint a good dry out before winter arrives.
