Hello all.
Decided to paint the banger again as it is looking quite tired.
I have put this on hold for quite some time now as I had bigger priorities to handle.
Also had my eye on something very special but that deal has fallen through so ive made a start on the daily.
Its only looked mint for about 1 month as its been a daily hack. So vandals, car park dings, scratches and general ware and tear
how it looked
Strip down day 1
Interior- roof lining all clips all pillar covers, seats, door cards removed. everything bagged and tagged. Not that i needed to as a mk2 is held together with about 15 bolts
Roof gutters, wiper trims and gromets, wings removed and inspected behind for any ‘A’ Pillar rot.
Quite common for these rot at the A pillar but ive been very lucky.
The only rot Ive found on the fixed chassis is slight surfact rust in the sunroof water channels and rear badge area. Sills are spot on too thankfuly.
Ive been thinking about ditching the sunroof and have it welded up. Dont know...
Tailgate has rust scabs near the number plate gromets and around the boot plynth screws so off to the bin that goes!
Bonnet - suffered from rot thanks to road salts - bin
drivers door - badly damaged - bin
driver side wing -badly damaged - bin
Wheels. 16'' BBS RS. Filled and redrilled.
Picked up some half centre nuts from the spring gti show and have some polished dishes to bolt on once these come back from powder coating. Hoping to have a nice tuck
Thats it for today!
Tomorrows task:
Remove all glass, strip down the doors.
EDIT: Door now found!
