so been while since i updated, got job in panel beaters for summer so been working on this in spare time,
plan was to tidy up few small bits but has turned into full repsray,
was going to spray it green again as its the easiest way and would look well but im thinkin of going for ether dark blue, black with purple tint or gunbarrell grey?
opinions please??
also got new fogs and indicators, gti bumpers and skirts, full stright true stainless exchaust,
car is just about ready for primer i decided to remove wiper in the boot and flush the hole for cleaner look and also rolled front and back arches so no more rubbin hopfully,
will try get some pictures up of progress soon as i have loads took,
all comments welcome, james.

Small update had two weeks off collage so called up to panel beaters and did bit work on the car,
There was few bits of rust in cills and were pushed up from going over ramps,
So first grinded off stonechip on both sides and pulled out the dents and got them stright then cut out rust and got thomas to weld in new plates,
then grind down welds, fill them, and sand them, then few coats 2 pac primer
Then got front,back bumper, spoiler, petrol flap, grill, mirrors, number plate light surround all primed aswell,
Got few bits flatend down but still good bit of flatining to be done beofore base coat but getting there,
Few pics.. comments welcome.



























Filled square in bumer and screw holes,


Grill was cracked on corner so filled it with plastic at back,


Picked these up aswel, 2 12 inch subs and matching 6x9,

.
Thats all for now..

Oh and flat caps, you need flat caps

Yeah im waiting to put it through test then she will be put down in the back bit more to have it sitting leval.
No it dosnt rub anymore since i rolled back arches. does infront on lock but there 55 tyres on front, bear in mind its still fairly high in back still so i will proble nead streched tyres all round for to get it to sit the way i want it to be, not really worried now for while as its just to do me till the 3 door golf is done
