Started hoarding parts again, lately picked up a polybushed Eibach rear ARB, 23mm master cylinder, 16v rear mounts and some smoked/red crystal rear lights
Braved the cold tonight and got a a little bit more done on the bay! Started off like this
Started to sand down the rust and then got the trusty grinder out and ended up something like this
Undersealed the chassis leg
Tomorrow im going to make a start on the battery tray, decided im going to get rid of all the surface rust, prime it and then paint it matt black... not going for a trophy winner so I reckon that will look good enough :lol:
Carried on with the battery tray today, I will be painting the whole bay gloss black in future but for now ...
Had a really good find today, well my dad did then told me :lol: I got home from the gym last night and my ol man said to follow him to the garage. Sitting there was a pair of seriously mint OE front wings, both doors (16v green tinted glass + OE electric windows) and a black uncut parcel shelf... again mint!
downside was I had to cough up £120 for it :lol:
Any way he told me that the scrap yard he went to had a 16v mk2 with a popped engine, so took the day off work and we went back down there today. Ended up walking away with centre console + window switches + loom, rear green tinted glass, both roof guttering + clips, intact handbrake cover, thicker scuttle panels, rear boot turret carpets and a few other little bits of trim and screws/clips etc all for the princely sum of £30 Matey boy asked me what price would make me happy ... thought I was being cheeky when i was about to offer £40 but my dad said £30 and he was cool with it ... so bonus
:shock:
After a lite sponging
Went over the scuttle with this, smells soo good
50/50 shot
So lots to be cracking on with! think the next main thing will be getting the ol girl prept and painted!
Few more little bits done, trying to get everything painted before the engine is dropped in, just saving for the respray at the moment, would be cool to get her done this year but with how the passat is shaping up im not in much of a rush to get her finished tbh :?
This makes moving the engine about so much easier :lol:
