[curtis1993]

Hey guys and gals,
 i have recently brought a vw golf 1.8 8v.. it looks like it has had a sorry life but with 87,000 miles 2 owners full service history and for 380 quid i cant complain..
well this is how the story goes...
On the 23/6/2011 i stubled across what i thought would be the bargin of the centry on autotrader so a quick 15 min drive to teignmouth from torquay and there she was kaitlin was her name ( dont ask the girlfrien thought it suited her)
she was up for 500 pounds that was a bargin in it self but i wanted it to be more of a bargin let the bargining begin 300 nope she wasnt having any of it 325 ..... ect boom she accepted the offer of 380 i was one happy chappy so we drove it home .... didnt really get off to a great start as 200 yards down the road she ran out of petrol so a quick push to the petrol station down the road 10 quid later and away we go when we got home i had to take some pics due to wanting to start this thread
so here you go some pics of her in a sorry state





So i decided that i didnt like flat blue paint and want ed to paint it black cheeply as it was only a cheep car ... out camethe rollern black paint as the car was ment to be a rat project :/ well the black i hated but heres pics any way ... we all learn from our mistakes hey :/








So off i set on a new adventure .. i have decided to spay the beast white ford st white to be exact so my first aim was to get off all the black paint that i applyed extreamly thickly

i got bored after two panels





More pics to come later on after my day of sanding and preping

All the black is now off just priming some of the bare metel and filling in some  dents
i will up load some pictures tomorrow of the preped project
it is being lowered on the 9th 60 / 55 in search of some alloys but it is proving a pain on my wage this month :/ and at somepoint i am going to get rid of the horrible blue interior for the vr6 highline interior
it is coming along slowly it is being sprayed after it has been lowered and tbh i cant wait looks a state now but it will look cool when its all done

Awesome, hat's off to you, I've been wasting my time using cans on mine, what paint are you using?

[curtis1993]

I am useing ford st frozen white in 2 pack paint 5L of it cost me 28.00 + VAT at my local automotive paint supplyer gotta love the cheapness

Well i have hit a very large stone in the road ... i tried changing the rocker cover gasket as it was badly worn and ermm well it went terably wrong so now i am stuffed and cant get it to the place it is being sprayed what a bummer so i am phoneing my mechanic tomorrow morning to see if her can fix it ... one of the bolt threads has come clean off the block so i need to get it re threaded but he will have to come to mine and do it as as soon as she gets up to temp she spues oil everywhere bless her

Well as promiced updated pics of as she stands now .. i have a week off soon so the white will be applyed then if she is fixed and lowered







This is the kind of thing i am aiming for .. shame shes 5 door but hey

Masking tape?

Save you so much time. Windscreen, rubbers and windows?


Try getting the thread out, I got mine out with my finger when it snapped.

Sorry, I was more interested in what paint and rollers you used when you did the black?
