Coolio, I really need to do both rears on mine as they were an advisory on the MOT back in August!

i know! theres one small bit of rust that needs cutting out on the battery tray and a bit around the wiper hole but apart from that its solid. you can see why these cars last though when you see how thick the underseal is. properly well built cars  :cool:

weeeey! finished welding! the whole car has been stitched now minus underneath, but that can wait till next year.



i relocated the expansion tank bracket for later when a roll cage goes in, and i will be using the small washer bottle you get in the back of the early mk2's in place of the one normally there.

also had to plate over the turrets as where the new topmounts are fixed is right on the ridge



just got to paint the thing now! but what colour  :huh:
