So i'm back on the golf again. Still stripping rubber undercoat from back end, there's lots of awkward spots so could take some time.

wow just caught up with this build that is a top quality finish underneath they never left the factory like this, nice work.

 

and that mini is looking a well and those are getting hard to find.

Thanks mate hopefully get this project moving again. The 35 is not perfect but was the best I could find for the money, didn’t no they were getting hard to find.

It looks like a nice base of a car mate, and I am sure once you have done the golf you can crack on with the mini, if it has anything close to this finish it will be ace!

Removed some more rubber undercoat, don't look a lot for a days work .

Big milestone today, I've officially finished removing all the vw rubber undercoat. Next Is to do a little welding and get the
underside sealed and painted.

Applied some paint to the engine bay today, I had a change of heart on the colour I chose first time round.

Remember the engine bay when I started this project.

New colour applied. I will wet sand it then give it another finishing coat as I did get some runs.



Looks grey in pics but it is blue.

Cheers mate the other blue was to in your face, I'm trying to make the golf retro looking.

Chopped some rot from passenger side rear sill wheel arch.

Made up a repair piece for the inner arch and welded in.

Weld primer applied ready for outer arch repair.

Outer arch repair piece welded in and grinded down.


Skimmed with first layer of filler, This wont need to be perfect as the outer sill will be stonechipped and the outer arch will
have a cover fitted. I'll still get the repair as best as I can. Both rear arches have some dents to sort also.
