OK so ive been side tracked over the last 3-4weeks..........

Bought a new hoose (As we say up here in scotland) so i spent weeks packing and even longer unpacking.


Note the Mk1's new spacious garage  ....... and there was the mrs thinking i wanted it as a good investment 







Im off to Ultimate Dubs this weekend then its full speed ahead with the MK1 PROMISE , ive not even looked at it over the past 4 weeks........terrible i know.

After seeing some of the cars at UD's I came back fired up and ready to get the MK1 finished.

Its been sitting doing nothing for weeks now, but all things willing it should be in primer by the end of the week

The following week Engine bay.....Underside....Inner arches....interior all painted up and it will be back in the garage ready for all the shiney parts by the weekend...... :lol:  :lol:  :lol: Thats the plan anyway........

One final look b4 its all primed up :roll:













Found this cheeky wee munkey taking up the Mk1's space on the ramp

nice! bay looks mint! how much is the re-spray setting you back buddy, if you dont mind me asking? 

[Madone_si]

lovely work, all that prep work has worked out well...

Regarding your brake system, are you going for a inside the mk1 brake servo on the steering rack, as I see you have smoothed off the engine bay where the braking arm to the brake servo normally goes, but you have left the drive side hole and plate in place.

I know I’ve disappeared off the radar recently but contery to the rumours I am still alive, my company hasn’t went bust nor have I sold the MK1 to some dude in England.

A mate of mine is recently back from Holland and was slightly concerned having heard the greatly exaggerated rumours at MIVW.

Before news of my death hits the Local news, My Mate who is painting the car had taken quite ill recently which prompted a delay in the project, I later realised that all hope of finishing the car for E38 (End of the season) were slim. I’ve also had a lot on with work recently, a house move, Family holiday, plus a new car for myself and the mrs on the horizon meant that i took the call to target finishing the car for next year due to a serious lack of time on my part.

So keep your eyes peeled as the MK1 will be finished and soon hopefully, like a great marketing campaign once announced the best things come to those who wait.
