I am speechless, keep the good work and don't give up!!!!  :shocked: 

Cheers buddy...... :wink:

Another wee update with some more pics!!

Rust on rear quarter...



Cut out....



New metal welded in...



Test fitting the rear light I noticed something up with the lines, had a feel in the back of the quarter could feel a dent that had been filled up with filler, was a good job but no good to me so all the filler came out and with a dolly and hammer straightened it out. Still got some work to do with the fitment of the lamp as it just doesn't sit nice and flush like the other side. Want it to be all right with good clean lines.



Also fitted the wings and bonnet so I know the all fit together easy once painted. The passenger wing is not a genuine vw part and seemed to have got bent in transit and needed alot of fettling to get it right. Basicaaly just been working away making sure all panel gaps are as they should be.













Another engine shot....I tell you it doesn't take long for the dust to set in which kind of takes the shine of it but will get a good detailing once its finished.

Getting sprayed as soon as its ready. Couple of weeks or so. Alpine White is the colour, always fancied a white Mk3.
