Mk2 16v Turbo Full car rebuild

[Sam]

a turbo kjet must have a blast radius of at least 5 miles when it pinks 

Yer, they do  but you can't help but love em

Good going on the spraying bud, looks mint in the pics.

Cheers, I'll see how it looks in the daylight!

Painting is a learning curve for me, it was paint left over from the interior but it is the right colour code, obviously the outside is a bit more critical than under the carpets!

I need to buy more paint to finish the car anyway...

Haven't really had a lot of time to spend on the car in the last few weeks, but I had a couple of hours free this afternoon so got the front seats and some more interior trim in.

Then treated the whole lot to some leather feed. There's going to be a lot of leather inside.



I wasn't happy with the front wing I painted, the paint finish was ok, the prep work wasn't, so I started that one again and prepped the other one too so both the front wings are ready to paint when I get a chance!

Subscribed to this! Looks great...

Home made Spray Booth in the Garage



Ready for Action

Both front wings painted

New wing mirrors arrived safely, ordered some plastic primer so I can colour code them, ordered more paint, lacquer, thinners and hardener, fitted the front wings for now just to get them out the way, well pleased with the paintwork, they look mint!

Next up in the 'booth' is the bonnet which is already in primer, just needs flatting back before painting

Prepped the bonnet after work last night and painted it tonight when I got home.



Apart from a couple of small bugs that I am going to have to polish off, it turned out really well
