It looks much better now as well, if the weather is good i'll get it cleaned up and put some more pics up with a better camera!

Very nice work. Ive used G3 cutting compound on a rotary machine buffer. Came out looking original red. Worth a look

Most detailers use duel action buffers FYI

Right, just got a few pics of the respray now that it's cut back and polished up, i'm more than happy with it 

This side was the one that had to be rebuilt at the bottom of the wing:



This side had 3 big rust spots across the length of the car:



And a couple of shots to show how it matches the rest of the paintwork:





I've got some silver dials and blue LED's on the way so hopefully i'll get them sorted next week 

(And i'm almost ashamed at how high it's riding :embarassed: Really need to get some coilovers sorted)

that is bloody brillaint! im sure the pictures don't do it justice. very well done m8. im sure it makes you like like the car alot more just removing a few ugly spots. i know id like mine a whole lot more if it was just a clean example. wud excuse the other niggles with it lol

Looks like a proper job done mate, as said before red is hard colour to spray and match and you done it well.

yeah does look tag high

[tdi_blu]

Looks like a really good job you done there great work  really nice clean car 

[DrewGTI]

looks good that matey! must be well pleased with how its turned out! 


coilovers next then? how much you gonna lower it by?

[dom]

Cheers for the comments guys I am really chuffed with the result, really satisfying putting time and effort into something like that and seeing the result 

coilovers next then? how much you gonna lower it by?

Yeah coilovers will be the next proper mod I think, I wanted to wait and get a decent set, but i'm still trying to solve the 5000rpm prob. Looks like a new dizzy is on the cards, if that fails to sort it then a camshaft sensor. Neither of those are particularly cheap. So i'm thinking about a cheap set, probably Jamex for the meantime. But hey! at least it'll be low 

As for a drop i'm thinking 60/40 and see how that goes. Theres a lot of crap roads around me, plus my drive is on an angle so much lower than that could cause me some probs, but we'll see
