Over the WkEnd

My golf has seen some heavy treatment over the wkend it has seen some weldin work some more isapon work and loads of primer. started priming the car on a friday nite give the front part of the car to heavy thick and wet coats of primer so that it would sink in well to the fillers and build them up a bit. left car all days saturday and began rubbing down the primer yesterday/sunday. then remasked the car again to get it ready for more primer.

Car is now starting to look the part and im happy with the way things r turnin out for me finally its running smoothly
