My new Mk1 :)

I havnt had a chance to use my por15 but I've heard only good things! Doing the floor too, and the foot well?

It's amazing stuff, quite easy to use as well (just don't get any on your hands, it took weeks for it to come off). Yep we're going to do both the passenger and driver's side since there are small spots of surface rust here and there as well as the major bit that needs replacing.

There hasn't been a huge amount of progress on the Golf over the past few months. Not having much free time and learning as I go means that things get done very slowly.

The rusty passenger floor was removed (I learnt how to use an angle grinder for the first time) and the new pan was put in place. The seat rail crossmember had to be removed and I'm trying to find a replacement since it's also rusty. Otherwise I'll have to repair the original one.
The new pan has been tack welded into place (I also dabbled in learning to weld a little bit) and at the moment I'm shaping other small bits to fill in the gaps where the floor pan didn't quite fit.

Unfortunately in the process of removing the sound deadening from the passenger side foot well, I found more rust It's on the upper part of the foot well and goes all the way through to the wheel arch. So it's yet another bit of rust that needs to be patched and welded etc.

I'm hoping that the body work will be done sooner rather than later, because it's really feeling like it's dragging on a lot at the moment!

You say not much progress, but if you don't have a good base everything is wasted, the progress may look slow but it big

Yeah notsos got the right idea. This is the hardes, most tedious part. Youll definately be glad youve put in the hard yards once its done
