Ruby black mk2 vr6, the week long conversion challenge begins!

[Benrevs]

I went to Volksfest at the weekend and the car was on a trade stand for Restomod bodyshop in Bristol.   It was filthy by the time I got there and drove through a field  Being useless I didn't get any pics.

For some reason after polishing cars all day I still clean mine when I get home
I bought some new detailing wax at the weekend and had to give it a go!







The black arch in the 50/50 shot was acheived using something I found under my kitchen cupboard....

always wanted to know were you get the front badge from with the red inside??

[Benrevs]

You have a mk3 badge so all you do is take the chrome bit off the front, paint the behind bit and the front if desired, and the glue it back together!

Quite a few people on here that weren't on our stand but at the show and I never saw them....    Car's looking great, so come on then, what was under your kitchen cupboard?

Shoe polish?

Nope, liquid gold furniture renovator and preserver. The main plus is that by upturning the bottle onto a sponge very quickly go me round the whole front bumper and one arch    but it didn't last more than two days. I am going to try multiple coats and see how that goes!

I haven't posted on this thread for AGES, but things ain't stopped    Since posting last I have new wheels, have pretty much resprayed the car again and have generally been sorting little bits out around it.  I bought another mk2 for all the parts mine needed.
  But after being away from my old Mk2 Vr I took the plunge and bought another donor... that takes the golf count up to 9
