Title: Project Mk3 - Hull
Post by: Dmonday on 28 October 2009, 09:18: Hi guys,
been looking over the forums for a while now and i thought it was time to actually introduce myself! im going to pick up my first golf gti mk3 this sunday from doncaster, not got pictures at the moment but she has a few rust spots, but as ive still got 5 months left on driving ban i thought why not take on a project! :grin:
the only issues i saw when i went to view was the issue with rust on the arches, top of the rear door, boot lid (rust hole :shocked:) and a small dent in the left wing, other then that it seems pretty good for £470! :smiley:
ill try and get some pictures up for you guys soon

Danny

I can however recommend the Squires Bar meet! has the added attraction of upseting Bikers! :laugh:

Post by: Dmonday on 28 October 2009, 09:45: it iss :smiley:! needs a good clean and some touching up though, thinking about colour coding the bumpers and trims.
any prep needed or should the guy who's painting it really do that? :huh:
Title: Re: Project Mk3 - Hull
Post by: Len on 28 October 2009, 09:46: I would leave prep to an expert as that can effect finish more than anything!

Great place for you to see what the "locals" are doing at the meets and meet some friendly faces.

Post by: Matty-MK3 on 01 November 2009, 23:12: Awesome! :cool:

I'd speak to the bodywork guy about colour coding them. Ask HIM what he would want you to do to keep down costs.

Or you could just buy fully colour coded ones.
