  • Carnival time

    Finally managed to start a bit of a makeover on mine, after getting power wired up to my garage.
    First up stripped out interior and its on axle stands to do work on the floor.

    A bit of surface rust, and a few plates in her 32 years





    lol anyone want a home-made "acoustic" shelf for a mk2? Its actually made quite good



    Up on axle stands, ready to rock and roll

    How horrible does years of underseal look? Urgh





    Axles off



    Taking interior to timmers on Sat

        Yes off to trimmers tomorrow Aled, Black leather, and door panels.
        Other plans are,
        Get floor down to metal and paint underneath
        new carpet, got a few bits and bobs kindly tucked away for me by GJ and also GR
        New front struts, Brakes and disks, new rad, maybe a brake bias if I can and new exhaust.
        Got to do the seals on my gearbox too

                            Interior for sale Gra?, didn't have much luck with the trimmers today, may be interested if it is

                            Inner arch taken down to bare metal, I re-seam sealed, not the prettiest, but, I like to make sure, put primer on for now to help stop surface rust before it gets more paint
