Cheers folks.

Tim it does feel good to finally have a mk1 again.

As per usual it wasn't until I started stripping the car that I realized how much work was really needed. but i would rather start from scratch and know that the repairs are done nicely.

I have another full day on it on thursday and then its off to paint.
