Tin was yours the Atlas grey smaller bumber 16v that I remember seeing in Ian's workshop at various stages of being rebuilt?

oh dear. yes it probably was. its not atlas though as thats lighter, its more of a metallic graphite. but it was very difficult to tell colours in that place.

unless you saw it in the last two days at WW it looked a mess through out.

The last time I saw it, it had just come back from the paint shop, and all the windows and trim were off. Paint job looked nice though, they?d done a good job of matching the slight orange peel finish you get on the original paint. You'll have to post some pics, I'd like to see the finished article!

i actually have very few pictures of it. most are quite dull.

www.portland.co.uk/golfpics

it has a few shots of the car at the sprayers, one of the car being put away at night a few weeks ago, and a few movies of its motorway ability. (they'll be uploaded by 8pm)

for a 16 year old car, its quite nice.
