Good work mate. That a rattle can job or spray gun? Wish I could spray. Tried doing a touch up before and made a piss poor effort! Ha!

You spraying in this weather!?!?! not expecting much i hope

rattles, you cant see but the bit i have her parked up is all enclosed with tall walls and the weather has been ok jus cold (today was shit with the wind) but am very used to bad weather painting will look smooth soonyou have my word

drivers door, drivers side arse end primed and sanded today *
and gonna try to get a tarp roof on over the walls (not my house I'm working at) so rain wind or snow will be sweet

whats the best way to go about fixing the odometer ????????

Good idea, at times I've been tempted to set up my gazebo over the top of the car because I have to work by the side of the road

I'm looking at buying a zebo . have a crack at painting mate can only fuck it up and have to do it again . ordered the colour ; Manhattan blue . thinking with either darker blue detail or red detail ???? opinons ???

sorry thought you were a earlier comment sure you can paint just fine

By the way are you planning on keeping those wheel trims? One or two of mine are scuffed up and I want to replace them with better ones.

nah they just on there till works all done (and i find i nice set that fit and i can afford) cleaned up one stellie so far not looking to bad

set of alloys or stellies that is

taken out center panel plastics, glovebox, plastic under wheel to put bits (i have no clue what to call that) gave the dash a proppa shine and fixed torn roof lining. will post more pics asap

(was shit weather today so not much progress )

Leather gearknob for the win. Much nicer than the plastic one.

its all about E gear

too much nostalgia, I used to have E. now all i have is 5

I'm torn i do want to get something classy but i do love the knob with the E gear . how long did it take everyone else before they looked in the manual for what E stands for ?

I thought it was common sense and it stood for Economy?

It doesnt doesnt it?

maybe I'm just a bit special

have ripped that shite detail tape of too

few stolen ideas later

bumper aint on proppa yet

Hold on a second...

i know i know sorry

best idea i have seen

It's fine .

just reading through threads quite a few people have pinched the idea aint they haha , ahh well compliment i suppose

the clips to hold the bumper on ........... ? where they at

colour of the vw is the colour the cars going


(sorry for all the separate posts)

REEEEAAALLY can't wait to see how this turns out mate,
firstly..that colour you've chosen, loving it. Reminds me of the florida blue..which is a colour i love.
secondly i think the fact your doing it outside, with rattle cans facing the weathers kind of adds to the character,
and thirdly, its good to see your having a bash at it yourself, instead of buying one, handing over the cash, car comes back mint..never got that with old cars, not really a feel of doing it yourself if your with me?

and, little Q for you,
you mentioned on my thread taking the center console out? i've not looked into it as such but how did you do it?

Jake.

thanks mate , I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit for the paint but not too long. as for the centre console it easy its a few screws that connect it to the dash .follow where the radio is around the back of the curve of plastic is the screw holes. Then take the gaitor of with some wriggling and pulling it should come out. i did it with no instruction just follow where the screws are and it comes out easy enough . i love the colour also monster colors are the best paint if your changing colour totally .

Had to put a quick layer of colour on today just to stop the primer absorbing water and me owning a giant pile of rust

You're really not hanging about with this one. Hopefully you'll do Emily proud with it

hope too . found out that the first owner (or one of em) was a vicar or priest or summat like that so in my eyes shes been blessed

I can't find it, but you can get bobblehead/nodding nuns, you need one of those in your life now.

ON THAT !!! was gonna settle for a little crucifix but not being religious think might not be a good idea.

might be having to put her up for sale if anyone wants her ?loads done to clean her out more done will update thread asap . pm me for details etc if enough interest will start breaking her .

Great to see my old girl getting the TLC she deserves! Can't wait to see more photos!
