Slacking on updates here....

:lol: I do have updates! I just thought a restoration of a standard mk1 Golf GTI wouldn't be of much interest on here! :-(

Been prepping the bay ready for paint and the new engine, digging away all the cracked seam sealer from the panel joins, sanding away any surface rust and re-coating;

Had to cut out the wiper linkage support to get to the rust underneath it

Yes Arun looking good and are those fibreglass berg arches mate cant wait to see you get back on the white one

p.s. I need to have that K03 off you sometime soon hopefully you still have it as I want to use the exhaust housing off it to build up my K03s and keep the rest as spares ;)
