Well I'm calling this extreme GTI 16V makeover LOL!

[SoundillusioN]

Okay its been too long, but just started to do the wheel arches and some possible paint in the next coming weeks!
Pictures to follow until I fix the familys car which the alternator has died a horriable death.
 

About time you slacker.

Well I know its slow going but just didn't want to work on her 
But I've started again and getting on with it.
The arch came off that was cracked and the last time I looked it was alright interms of solid wing.
further inspection reveled light surface rust due to the poor roll arching done by last owner left a few scars that needed sorting out before the new arch goes back on. Its too windy to spray so maybe tomorrow?
Made some progress, but hey something off the list! I'll be dropping all brakes and suspension next time one corner at a time funds? Meh always running out

Good news on the rust front, most Mk3s have more then that! 

It's good to see you working on her again, getting slack you were! 

[cняis]

Christ that's not moved in a while, judging by the rusty discs 

Its nice just to pluck away at niggly things. Its what I've been doing whilst mines stood up, so I can avoid doing the heater matrix for a bit longer  :embarassed:

Is that corrosion on the coilovers? Get a wire brush on the threads before they seize! Then protect with clear waxoyl (aerosol) or white grease (aerosol)

So, what's next?

[clipperjay]

Haaa slacked off again!
I'm getting bored again 
I'm thinking about just gettting rid, going back to motorbikes 

I've got the brakes just don't see any point putting them on until the respray.
The new discs would rust me not driving it sadly.
The coillies are fine just some old dirty grease if they are seized I'll just cut the rings off.
