Cheers guys. It was really nice to get her back onto her wheels! :)

No quite no. Its going to have a full custom interior and I'll prob run the AFH in it. But form the outside it will look standard-ish apart from some different wheels.

wicked!!! should be awesome mate

Tar :)

It made it to Bromsgrove!! :)

Can't wait to see this back together, I hope your already on the case of restoring everything to go back on it? Tip: Let bolts and screws soak in vinegar, smells horrible but gets the rust off (that's if your going for a nut and bolt restoration).

How have I not come across this before, awesome thread! Really is one of my favourite mk2's, the paint and head lining is next level!

that strap looks sexual mark.

Agreed, really nice touch that!

absolutley stunning.

Keeping up with this resto is pretty much the only reason I come on this site anymore, it's about time someone gave one of these the attention they deserve instead of covering it in stickers, cutting coils and running it into the ground. Well played dude.

Thanks guys... :)

More work this weekend....

Brake lines... what a pain in the arse... and the engine!! :)

Brake lines are pure grief! And you're brave whipping that engine in anod out into that lovely fresh bay. Top work though. How local was that trimmers to you? Do you have any contact details for them?

Cheers.. yeah getting the parts is a bit of a pain but I must admit I've been lucky for lots of them

Ahh don't worry that will be repainted and new tie rods/steering arms will be fitted. Needed the rack to be fitted for so it can be moved around the workshop. :)

ooooooffffff!

Very nice mate,how much would I be looking at if I wanted my headlining looking as sweet as yours?
