Project 50/50 - Mk2 GTi Detaiing Restoration
« on: 24 February 2015, 18:30 »
Hi all,

Project 50/50, the new Refined Details Demo Car/Weekend Toy.

The car is a Mk2 Golf GTi Small Bumper in Tornado Red - cosmetically she is extremely straight, rust free (except the tailgate) but the paint has seen much better days! Only 98,000 miles, 2 owners and Full Service History - and I mean FULL, the stacks of paperwork alongside the mechanics speak for themselves.

The vehicle has been off the road 18mths now - I have owned since February but have only just managed to get round to restoring due to other projects and detailing workload.

For regular weekly updates please feel free to follow on:

On Arrival







































A few more pictures of what I need to get through! I have been as sympathetic as possible when mopping this back due to the very low paint readings from years and years of T-cutting and evidence of a mop in the past - the 3/4 panel in particular, where you can just see the primer!













In the end I decided to restore the entirety of the vehicle.

Here are the results.





















Alloys were powder coated.



































Thank you for looking and reading...

Why not buy one then Neil and use it to showcase your products? With all due respect it gets more attention and respect than applying a product to an already clean new car.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

That's great idea and we know you miss your old mk2 Neil.

Would love to see you restore something to it's former glory.
