i dont need it for the mot, got the data sheet from vosa saying i need a tow eye so the car CAN be towed but dont need a tow bar to tow another car so off it went

Looks mint mate, wish i worked in a bodyshop and could do things like this,

and yeh you dont have to have a rear towing eye, i haven't

I dont really get much time during the day to do my own workjust sometimes i get a break

with the towing eye it pushed the bumper out slightly but i didnt want to cut a notch in the bumper

Nice project dude.. will love too see it when its finished!

But that pic with the pressed plates.. might be a good idea to change/ edit it with your address being visable... theres some nasty people out there.. Just looking out for you mate

thanks for that

will do

hi m8 just wonderd wots the ET of you are RH cups ? and the width ?

not too sure, i can chck in the morning but they wheels need changed as they rub against the arches

pickd new trim up yesterday

one on the left to replace the one on the right

need to cut them to add a little extrato them

a few small updates

after a bit of hassle with the mirrors finally reprimed them today, just need to rub them down then paint :)

also got the smoothed petrol cap primed, quite happy with how it turned out

Got a genuine mk5 gti spoiler with break light so decided to rub it down and reprime it so the finish was completely flat

fitted a mk5 steering wheel

OEM mods FTW! loving it mate... i hate bodykitted road cars without a prupose, but this is sweet! like the hours put in and the overall vision in mind! hurry up and finish so we can all see!

nah i dont see the point in body kits etc, like to keep it standard but just play about with the looks and height

well sent my RH cups off to mike the polisher on sunday and went to collect them today, he's done an excellent job on them seeing as they were badly kerbed and corroded, only had the dish polished and i'm going to paint the centers and he even gave me a free bottle of wax to protect the dish :rthumb:

Before

after

rubbish pics but they look great up close

i didnt do the wheels, i sent them to a polisher to get done, i've done my own rocker cover and i started with 1200 then 1500 then 2000 and 4000 then polish and it looks just like the wheels

Finally the big update thats put the polo back on track

rusty arch?.................sorted

Rotten arch and rusty end of sill cut off

New arch piece welded in place

all fixed

Fibreglassed

we're getting back on track again

next the R32 skirt will be fitted

another update

finally fitted the driver side skirt today and will probably try have it smoothed in for the end of next week and in primer, ordered a few bits today and got a few guys coming to do some wiring and its now booked in for its first show in july so better get a move on

getting there matey- good thread

comments

you filled in the lines between the panels and the side sideskirts, looks awesome

I reckon your going mk5 tailgate and all red rears as it looks like you have extended the bits below the lights :p

Cant wait to see this finished!!

yes they have been filled but only extended by millimeters and yes i am going with the mk5 tailgate, good eye

and FINALLY!!!!!!

the car is now painted and just drying in the spraybooth, now we get to the challenge

the entire car has to be flattened and polished, built up interior and exterior, need to order lights, adjust the coilovers . THEN its off for its mot which i am expecting to cost a bit as the car has lay for just about a year now so something must need replaced, insure the car, tax it and get it all set for its first show which is in 10 days time

will it make it

lets find out

now the cars out the booth its now started the 8 stage polishing which should take 3 days

pics soon

everything is finished and built up, just the back bumper to do and we're set

anyway tried something different with the wheels so hope they look ok when they get fitted

took agessssssssss to mask up the RH on the center caps

Thanks

hope the wheels go down well with the car, wasnt too sure after they were painted if i liked them or not

Nice work jordan

Looking forward to seeing the pain!

Wheels should look good

How much does nike charge for the polishing?
