Cheers mate  :cool: the rest of it is just too solid to let it go to the scrappy!

just ordered the last two things I need to put it back together, a wing and a gearbox mount so give it a week or 2 and it should be back on the road  :smiley: fingers crossed!

Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?

She's getting there. I couldn't find a replacement battery tray that was available now so I thought F'it I'll just make one. The Golf will never be original again and it's not a show car so it's no big deal IMO It wont be hard for me to cut it out and replace it with a proper repair panel if I ever feel like a full on resto but at the moment I just need it back on the road.

Got the new wing on, and slam panel to get everything lined up in the correct position (sorry pics are a bit dark)



Cut all the rust out and started making a new tray




Got Thursday off work to repair the other side as it was too crumpled to pull out so It shouldn't be long before its back on the road.

It's aliiiiiiive  :smiley: got the gti on the road yesterday but there's still a few niggly bits to sort as I'm missing one of the bumper clips on the O/S wing so I need to get the bumper to sit a bit better, need some new fog lights and still need to get the wing sprayed and to mount the wheel arch trim but ill do that after its been sprayed.

But on the plus side it drives really well and the new engine pulls like a train compared to the old one  :evil:  its nice to have a standard exhaust on there as well, the old one was a bit too loud for a daily drive.
