Post by: jv on 02 June 2005, 13:50: As much as i would like to claim it, it's not mine :tongue:

Jo the builder of the car doesn't use the internet much - no suprise really when you see the amount of work he has put into the car. He was telling me yesterday that the paint was 180 quid a tin and he needed 6!

Title: Re: The TVR/Golf has been painted
Post by: kniterider on 02 June 2005, 19:51: i dont think he lengthened the shell, only widenend it , i think as the mk1 doors have the quater light section removed make the doors look longer, i might be wrong but im sure its the same length, the 'low'ness and the size of the wheels (well and the bits of the wheels that are hiding in the arches...) lol, just adds to the illusion that it is longer......

awesome bit of tooling though... :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:
