Thats is not my car mate,that picture is from a mk1 polo.

Just a small update, went up to the bodyshop tonight to see how things were getting on & i will let the pictures do the talking.

A few i took a week or so ago after they started cleaning/stripping back the holes that needed welding up which did make it look alot worse than it actually was.









From tonight.

Holes plated back up but still need finishing off & cleaning up.






Front inner arch work so far.






Also ive some extra work done on both sills which wasnt planned.









Next stage is for me to clean up around the rear plug holes which im getting also welded up.

Areas i will be cleaning up the weekend.






Hopefully i will have the car back all finished at the end of next week looking a bit better for its self.

Also sorry for the crap pictures,it was dark & they were leaving when i got there tonight.

Next update should be alot better so watch this space.

i was playing with that thought because i have a bbs front spoiler, and the sideskirts and rear part are too high in comparision with the front.

Oh right i see, no mine will be staying the same as i want to keep it as original as i can.

Nice work.

Thanks mate.

Another quick small update.

As i said in my last write up that i would be cleaning up around the rear plug holes over the weekend,so i popped up to the bodyshop yesterday morning to get it all ready for them next week.

Areas all cleaned up ready to be welded up

Another small update,went in to the bodyshop yesterday to see how things were coming along,nothing major has changed but now it is nearly ready for paint.

How the car looked when i got there.



Rear plug holes are now welded up.






Front archs cleaned up ready for paint.






And my job for the afternoon was to clean up the inside of the boot ready to be painted.

Before i started.






Didnt take any pictures of it after as i forgot but it is now all ready (well i think so anyway).

Also this week i had a little surprise in the post from John,a sample of cord which my new carpet is being made from.

Cord sample.

Right after getting a text last night saying the car had been painted i couldnt wait to pop in this afternoon to see the out come.

How the car looked when i walked in.



Front inner arches painted.






Sills with fresh paint.





Rear inner arches with a new coat of paint.






And finally the boot.






Really pleased with how it looks now & looking forward to it being but back together, then the stage will be the interior.
