MK3 Golf GTi 16v grey - Getting scrapped.

[snifferdog]

Think you can get it done slightly before but there is a limit, maybe one or two months. I had mine done a month before and they backdated it so that I had 13 months!

Thanks snifferdog, that sounds more like what will be the case. I want to get it in asap to see what's wrong with it and then depending on cost, get it sorted, then crack on with rust repair and satining.

I know what you mean mate, I waited until Id put mine through an mot myself before I really started doing anything to it.

Sorry, yeah, one month before exp date

If you haven't sprayed it by Volksfest we'll get everyone to bring a can and give you a hand 

Only trouble is you'll probably end up with more mis-matching panels then you currently have 

[Shady Pioneer]

Not sure I like the sound of that.  I'll make sure it's sorted before Volksfest, I'll take a week off of work to do it.

Are you gonna take bits off to do, ike the grill for example and remove lights etc?  or just gonna mask it all up and go for it ?

Its the masking up that takes bloody ages lol

Get loads of pics when your doing it 

[Shady Pioneer]

I'm going to take lights and grill off etc., as there are nooks and crannies to get to that would be noticeable if I don't. However I'll be keeping inner door seals and what not the same for when a proper respray is done.

I'll be sure to get pics as I go along.

Better to take the arches, bumpers, door handles, top of the skirts etc off as well, will be a much neater job if you do.

Are you rolling or spraying?
