AWESOME :)

The arches were masked yes .

A Ingenious way actually to keep all the squares the exact same size .

how did you manage to keep them all the same size ten mate, i think they are AMAZING! :-D

Well got a fair bit done today..first of all here's some better pics of the arches..

Also got bit more done on the interior.prepped, primered and starting painting the back and suspension turrets- decided to do them black to tie in with the black headlining and carpet and some new black doorcards. Pics:

Not finished yet but will prob tomorrow and give it a good polish once it's dried properly.

Charlie had the idea of using patches to repair some old seats she had lying around so after looking for the sewing machine pedal for about half an hour she set to work and here is what she did!

Fabric was removed, washed and dried then put on fresher back rest foams as old ones were fooked.

Rear Badges to tie into the black and white theme..

Stevie

Body work will be sorted in time .

looking good , i like the arches alot

sweet. arches and seats look wicked, and the rear badge looks like crushed mints

Thats some funky marble finish to that rear badge right there!!

Sure this car will be sick once you have it on the road.

You going to deck the back at all or just leave it all exposed?? looks so much better with the fresh paint on the inside though :-)

Can't wait to come and have a nosey of it in the flesh!!

Good, Fast progress is what i like!! Not like me eh Stevie..... my cars progress is lame!!

Lookin sweet eh?.. He's gonna put a black carpet false floor in the back I think...we're off now to get stuck back into the mk2s...mk2pimpflex for the win! :)

Thats one way to kill a nice looking saloon.

hahaha gotta love crazy old ladies table cloth repairs ftw

Looks like this has potential, il be interested to see how this comes out. I contemplated reshelling my fresh GT conversion into one of these a while back, but decided i would be murdered by the lads if i did!

Straight up...... would have hanged you.....no messing.

dd u cut the rear seat section out - was looking into this on mine . what have u done and how exactly

You can either drill the spot welds out, or you can cur around it with an angle grinder, then finish off the edges with a dremel. If you have a look at it in situe, you should be able to identify the spotwelds you need to drill :-).

lol kk , has this weakened the cars shell ?? when looking at mine i was assuming this adds strength

looks pimp matey...I'm thinkin of doing something with the inner arches on me golf...I'm not gunna copy though...unless i cant think of something different :p lovin the chequred seats too...should keep them and leave the leather lol
