And so it begins...

Havent done too much the last couple days, finally finished of the body work for the front right fender however its not perfect but at least i know its rust free and has fresh body filler. Still tossing up between a white or red to repaint, most likely going to go with an acrylic lacquer based top coat as its not that toxic and apparently easier to spray compared to 2 pack paints however acrylic isnt as resistant as 2 pack. Probably going to just go with white again as I wont have to re paint the interior.

Have not realised it has been 4 months already jesus!!!.

Not much has been done have been super busy with work and other things going on...
Have stripped the majority of the interior and started to scrape and sand the disgusting rubber coating one of this cars previous owners have put all over the inside. Have only found a few more rust holes and nothing too major. Defiantly going to make this a 2 door 2 seater golf as having that extra boot space would be handy and just looks better imo. Plans are to pull the running gear soon and subframes to get it on that bloody rotisserie. Until then I'm just going to keep scraping the rubber and sanding. Was thinking of getting either golf or polo GTI seats as well for this thing something a little more comfortable around MK6.

Well its been like 4 years since the last post somehow, crazy how life gets in the way. Not much has changed tbh the golfs still the same as before but we did however manage to fully strip it down and put that rotisserie to work finally! Next step is to organise wet blasting and epoxy primer the whole car so it hopefully wont collect any more surface rust while I take another 4 years to do the body work. We also added to the collection and picked up another 3dr mk1 which is already in pieces its too hard to not try fix the rust before you know it the cars been stripped down as well haha. Anyway thought id update this dead thread and hopefully theres more updates to come this year. (Heres a pic of the new rig)
