Looking pretty tidy now... nice job with getting on top of that rust... take it it wasn't too bad then.

Re: dobby: project tidy daily, off the road after a bit of a mishap :(

unfortunately she got hit on a roundabout about a month or so ago so i've had to get a new drivers side door and i'm currently waiting on funds to get her back to her former glory   :sad:

gonna have to get the sill sorted and get the frame and wing pulled back into shape =/ so she's currently sorned and parked up safely in my grandads workshop



i decided it was a good idea to get hold of a reliable diesel daily, of course it had to be a vdub so the only logical choice was a 1.4tdi polo, i shall be putting up a project post for that in a bit as i can't be driving round in a standard granddads car :P

so she should back from the bodyshop after having the wing, sill and door pillar pulled this weekend, ready for my mate to hit her with some filler and paint :D

in the mean time i've bought her a new heart :P



also ordering her some new shoes next weekend, thought i'd go for something a little different! never seen concave rims on a mk2 before ;)



this is now a full on project and i can't wait to get her how i want her :D

Loving where this is going bud! I reckon those wheels should look pretty damn cool once they are on. What size tyre are you gonna go for?

got her back from the body shop today! got a big weekend of filler and paint ahead of me next week! :D

also test fitted the xxr rims, they look awesome and have the perfect fitment... may need to mess about with my arches a bit though :P





comments welcome as always, hopefully there should be a constant stream of updates now :D
