Been registered for a day or so so I thought I'd make myself known:). Last car was a Vauxhall corsa- http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthre...5334&page=7

But got bored of that and it's unreliablity so swapped it for this :).

Got bored today so started and finished my semi smooth boot,

Welded, filled, prepped and primed

Nice and shiney :)

Only bad thing about it is a slight petrol tank leak, Easy enough to fix.

Plans are to just tidy it up abit really, semi smooth boot, new interior, lower, new wheels as I despise the deep dish borbets that are on it (for sale if anyone wants them). And de-roll the arches as some gook has diy'd rolled them and left it to rust .

Couple of goodies were on it such as pressed plates (legal ones) and new power flow exhaust

Will get some better pics up soon as they are not the best haha.

Also looking for some diff wheels that go well with vw's if anyone has any:)

Comment welcome.
