Car now in my mates bodyshop, I wouldnt leave untill i had made sure my clean engine was well covered from dust, stripped the front end of complete, no wings no nothing, spent 2 hours coving every gap where dust could get into the bay (did my mates head in :laugh:) then wrapped the front of the car to double make sure haha, will be difficult rolling it into the ovens but hey ho







Aww, why'd you go and put a paper bag over it's head!................... trying to resist... bad mk3 jokes trying to come out!....  :lipsrsealed:


Seriously though, be great to see the finished results although to us, it probably wont look any different in pictures!  Always looked mint anyway.   :grin:

On the hunt for total perfection tho :laugh:. I had age related stone chips to the front (its 19 years old this year). but my mate insisted he did the whole car. And at a price i couldnt refuse  :smiley:
