Are you painting it your self dan

lookin good so far  :cool:

Yes mate! painter by trade, painter by nature ;)

Never been too sure about this conversion on a mk3, always can't helping thinking it makes the mk3 look a bit mk1 saxo(ish)




Good job so far though.



Hahaha, I know exactly what you mean lol! I'm gonna paint it up anyways, see how it looks with the slats black....

Winning!!!

I want!!  :cool:

Cheers bud! I think it looks quite cool with the silver bonnet as it is lol! I've got a feeling that I'm gonna love how it looks tomorrow when its all painted up! I'm thinking I might stay red now.........

Yeah, thought I would start an ad and keep it updated as I go :) I'm starting a business in the new year so the money will either go into the business or on a MK1 golf ABF project/weekend driver!

I blocked and reprimed my bonnet to day, to make sure everything is nice and straight :)

I also painted my rear bumper







I colour coded everything but I may re black the bottom part depending on how I feel once it id fitted! My Pure Yellow Halogen main beam bulbs FINALLY arrived from Japan so I'll fit those later when it get's dark and take a before and after pic!
