Blue tape to protect cars when on motor way by 3M! HELP!

Of course it will prevent chips to the paint. It's the sharp edges of stone and chippings hitting the paint that cause stone chips. If the stone doesn't touch the paint, it can't chip it. Granted, it wont prevent dents, but how many "stone dents" do you have on your car.

Well, this can happen when you drive past a gritting truck!

Ah.  Ok then.  Best needed for the MK1. Keeps the paint in good order, and keeps the car together.

After first inspection as expected good and bad lol the front panel seems solid and original (factory barcode still on there) engine bay area again seems solid which is a bonus but then the passenger sill has been replaced....cant coment on quality of work as its covered in primer and filler so need to strip that back but most likely be cut off and new replacement panel (included with car) put on. but driver side inner and outter sill pretty fubar



few more holes in floor







Nice bodge with some silicone and fibre glass, Pure class used on that repair! 

And this is what happened when i was stripping her down....bit of rust lol 



Spare wheel well is solid which is always a bonus, other area that needs attention is scuttle



Not too bad, may be able to repair instead of replacing hole panel unless i can get a new genuine panel.

So i started stripping her down to see what horrors she holds and get her ready for repairs and it would appear its had a new rear panel at some point (not the greatest job) and also had new sills and outer arches welded in





Which is unbelievable really that someone has spent money doing that and now its in this state.
At end of play yesterday this is how she stood

^^^^^ Give over, that can happen to any golf in the wrong hands.  Yours would look like that if it had lived the same life.  I'll think you'll find mine is fine.

Me? Touchy?... Never....
