Looking sweet! Are you going to weld up the sunroof?

Nope. Going to try and keep it. Could be difficult as the easiest way is to cut the middle out of one and another into 4. Then weld the inside back in.

Bring it forward slightly too, so you can stick your head out whilst driving!  :laugh:

You crazy people.

Going to make some z spring plates to sort out the driveshaft raise. Started stripping the yellow one today. She must die to save 3 others.

Aye. Problem with this one was it came in about 10 years ago as the inner arches on the front were gone. Repair panels for each side are / were about £400 a side, so more than the car was worth. Got sown second hand ones, but the guy who cutthem out used a cutting saw so allthe edges are fooked and no good, so its just sat rotting.

But! I'm having the roof. The turquoise one is having the floors as those are solid. My mates red one is having the IRS out of it and the heater channels are going into a red one.

I look forward to having the Golf up there and working on them side by side. Now just to convince the wives to come up and keep us fed and in hot beverages!
