springs arrived today, just ordered new wishbones, with ball joints & bushes already sorted :D

few more pics, off camera - better quality! few bad bits too :/, both front wings quite bad!! replacements me thinks!

still need to paint that red grill bit, not quite same red! and still need to order pressed plates!



back panel looks a lot better now after t-cut, its tornado red again, instead of tornado pink :D



shiny-ness





front right wing, arghhhh, replacements as soon as!



drivers door, not too bad, can easily be sorted, no holes, just surface rust



rear right arch, again not too bad??



car looks kinda pink in this one, volksgirls :D



boot, doesnt look too bad t-cutted, considerin it was done with rattle cans!?



midsdubclub :D (i have got a golfgti one, watch this space!)



left front wing, again replacement??

yeah its not too bad :) was gonna sell after xmas but think i might keep it now... the left wings isnt TOO bad, but im sure it will only get worse so may as well just get new ones, would they pass mot like that?! do they check things like that?? cos mot is end of nov i think and dont think gona have chance to sort em, with sortin wishbones etc... :/... wheels should be on this wknd all bein well :D wishbones should be delivered by then, if not, then after the weekend :/ x

and like i said ^^^ i was gona sell after xmas get a gti but thinkin of keepin for a while now, get it lookin good, so probably another yr, while i save insurance for a gti! :)
