yeah it looks loads better with the cups on even in the condition they are now

I have about 2 weeks before im back at uni so need to try and get as much done as possible, the bumpers are aaalmost finished, just need a little more spraying

Been busy sorting MOT this week, it did pretty well really, i had to replace a brake hose and it needs a small patch welded underneath but thats it :)

tthe black bumpers do suite it atm, looks kinda ratty i think
im aiming for a nice clean white and black look in the end though so they will be colour coded... as you will now see  :tongue:

Time for an update to where i am now

So i had MOT a couple of weeks ago and it was having a small hole in the floor patched up and the welding caught light to some waxoil that was on the floor, the fire spread and caught light to the interior, the rear carpet, front seat, door card and headliner were all burnt, luckily my rear seats and sub were not in the car at the time so they are still ok.
Well as you would expect the garage sorted me out with a new interior, so i now have black GTI door cards, black carpets and plastics all round and black GTI front seats... a big improvement from my old blue carpets and door cards, only thing i miss is my cabrio seats. pics further down


well anyway this week i have painted my front bumper and sorted out the paint on the rear bumper so they will go on later this week once the paint hardens. and i have also been sorting out the bodged up sunroof which now opens and closes without any leaks! and just generally tidying up a few things



fire in the footwell


headliner


door cards, i didnt get any pics of the seat but the passenger seat was burnt to the frame


New interior, i got some new mats and chrome handles




The front bumper was in a pretty bad way, alot of the paint was flaked off and it was cracked all over, the bumper itself was ok though
so sanded smooth



primed


Painted! my best spray job so far, im really happy with it

I like this thread, Any pictures of how the car stands now? or are you waiting to get things all on first?

Lookin good! But u sh!t your pants when the garage phoned and told u there had been a bit of a fire though! :laugh:

Interior looks good, but I thinks you really need a new steering wheel now.
