Seriously impressive work m8

Will defo be keeping an eye on this and look foward to the next update.

Cheers mate....had a look through your build threat last night too, pretty nice cars you have there.


Cheers m8

Defo think your taking this mk3 in the right direction. I hate drenched boot lids aswell. Standard looking all the way with little deleting here and there.

What's ur plans for the car when done. Will it be a daily or show car??

Hope to have it on the road over the summer but certainly not be a daily and prob be too scared to take it out in anything other than scorching hot weather lol.  A show car would be nice but not sure yet will see how it turns out. If I have funds my plan is to supercharge it over next winter and have a Mk3 Golf G60 which should make it quite unique as its not that common as oppose to 1.8t and VR conversions.

Not much of an update really but a few pics. Was hoping to have it primered by now but has needed quite a bit of prep work and had other stuff on.

Done a mock up of the fitment of the front end. New wing I got was bent and needed a bit of panel beating and the other second hand wing I sourced was full of filler where it meets the headlamp so all that had to come out. All hammered and dollied back into shape. The metal skirt for the grille was all twisted also. Need to source the top half of a grille as the plastic is broken.













Work round the rear lights is all done....





Anyway thats it for now, next update you will see it will all be primed up  :cool:

Hopefully this week will see how it goes, got some other stuff on too but this is high on my priorities just now. Spent a few hours on it this afternoon and if I can get a few hours on it tommorow all the prep work should be done!! Want it on the road for beginning of June! Gonna be a busy month!!

Cheers....some of my mates have offered to lend a hand but as yet none of them have bothered their arses to show up although none of them are particularly clued up on this kind of work. Prob have them cleaning the garage and fetching hot beverages... :grin:!! At least I can say it 100% all my work! Enthusiasts like yourself wouldn't even need to be asked twice to lend a hand!!
