well I started to attack some rust patches on the doors... so far they are de-rusted and have a small amount of primer on them, just need to think about how to paint them properly! (pay someone and get them done right first time or have a go myself?)
The bottoms of the doors are easy to paint yourself as you have a nice big bit of trim to work up to, i did the nearside door bottom and lower quarter last spring and it still polishes up nice.
I waited for a really nice sunny day and just built up the layers nice and steady then used some top quality laquer to finish.

Welded a repair panel in at the back of the o/s sill today, so much grinding, wire brushing and welding involved.

I walked past it and felt a little stab of guilt, having driven around all week in our E46 Touring family wagon. 
Golf will get a clean and a good run over the weekend.
