thanks mate

this is epic. Just spent over an hour reading through this thread and your car is easily in my top dubs ever :) huge fan! :-D

I bet your arms are killing you form sanding down that bay !

I'm just in the process of helping my mate smooth the bay on his Mk1 and relocating pretty much everything .

My arms are fooked and we used a DA for majority of the hard graft

I can't really say more than whats been said. 'Nuff said!

cheers guys. yeah arms are usually fooked but the lack of skin left on my fingers poses more of a problem lol just really looking forward to getting it done and back on the road, alot to do yet tho.

Spanner rash FTW!

He means when your sanding filler especially the initial corse grit it fooks your fingers , Especially your thumb i find .

Hence me using a Da with a very small flexible head makes light work of the inital sanding

ah right i see, yes it does fook your fingers great if your a chav in the robbing buiness don't leave any finger prints lol

looking epic mike. great job on the block, bays gonna look ace too mate. well done.

cheers phil nearly got bay done now but have to stop for a bit as i chopped through my finger with a grinder tonight so untill that heals no sanding i'm looking forward to seein it in paint mate i bet all that hard work and arm ache will pay off and will be so rewarding, i just can't wait.

you will have to come see it some day and give me some help on building this 16v engine coz i ain't got a clue what parts go where and what parts i need could really do with some help if thats ok?
