Mine were parked at home, while I was up a ladder emptying the gutters on the house :angry:
-

someone in a mk2 waved and hooted to me on saturday though think it was a blacky/green mk2 near ransoms europark in Ipswich. anyone??
-
I'm ooop nooorrrrrth and I was driving about in my mk2 yesterday - beautiful day for it too!

I was cleaning and polishing mine, then went for a drive to take some pretty sunny pics! :smiley:
(but I'm down south!)

-
in bed fast asleep then playing gran turismo 5.

No way :grin: bird crap's like acid on paint work, it left nasty discolouration on my roof after i cleaned it a million times!
Next time the offending pigeon(s) are going to meet the wrong end of my slingshot!!! :evil:

mine went into the shop to start on the prep, almost finished it all, if we had carried on yesterday it would have been completed.. but instead going to block sand the filler skim off on the sill where someone tried to jack it up, after it was stud and pulled..
all the lil dings dents anything like that have had a touch of filler skimmed and flatted, all paint is flat..
need to prime the sunny panel.. finish the sill, stonechip the inside lip of the rear arches after a tiny bit of corrosion removal, and jsut do a couple of tiny dings that havent taken a bit of a skim yet..
paint starts saturday with the roof, tailgate and bonnet off..
finished sunday then baked
back monday polished i hope, pre rebuild..
then jsut gotta get the proper bumper and trim paint onto the strips and bumper.. all in time for spring fest :laugh:

Yeah i know amte but just wanted to prove a point - the fact that somerset is bumpkin country :laugh:
haha nah just kidding, you saw mine at volksfest didnt you? the odd shades of some panel where the white match was rubbbbbish.. that was getting to me, and then had some damage recently which really pissed me off as i didnt know where it came from so i decided to bite the bullet and go ahead with it, knowing that it was a perfect base for it :smiley:
And mine was never this tidy, as my project page shows.. its taken a LOT of effort :nerd:
p.s. come to a bristol meet sometime!!
