I made the mistake of covering my mk1 in black waxoyl :embarassed: You don't half get dirty when mending it in the future as that stuff always gets on you. My MOT guy hates me because of the black waxoyl. Its why i have started to do the mk6 in clear waxoyl.
I don't think a semi will give the same results
nice work, fancy coming to fix mine after

mine needs alot of attetion, most of which i dont have the facility to do ie welding the sills/arches. think i may try to get the engine running soon though to get the ball rolling!

Yeah i remember it coming up a few weeks ago.... I'm the same. I might get a welder one day and learn but then by the time ive done that i wont need it. from what i can tell the only thing thats died with it off the road for so long is the rear valance. the rest is stuff i can do or try to do but is a ballache! be good to see yours in progress. not much goning on with mk1 projects on here... everyone elses are on the road!
