will be keeping the original doors and bootlid, when the car gets painted it will be a diffrent colour

[Spiky 37]

PINK

[SteveW 6]

dont think it will be pink lol, dont know yet maybe gulf colours, light blue with a orange stripe over the bonnet roof and bootlid

[Ludi 2 2 Cars]

It looks like "pimp my ride"

[SteveW 6]

paintwork is the very last thing on my mind, getting to a rolling shell is the first priority

[SteveW 6]

My beam mount kit turned up this morning, get to work over the weekend and get the beam painted and fitted.

[SteveW 6]

Spent most of the day working on the pug today, big thanks to spiky for taking my loom to mate to the gti-6 engine loom and helping

with the car and blowing up my hoover

 

before i started stripping the black paint that was lovingly painted on with what was probably a stick lol

 

 

 

out came the grinder after 2 hours with a scraper

 

 

 

 

[SteveW 6]

looks like snow

 

 

 

had to grind of the bolts for the front bumper that were rusted on

 

 

 

last pic is a good one, intresting use of tissue paper on the master cylinder to seal the brake pipe

 

[SteveW 6]

Had an hour on the inside tonight, looking much better i think

 

 

 

 

 

will give it a coat of satin black soon

[tracktoy 0]

wow you been busy

 

 

looking a lot better now

[Powers 13]

Looking good. I bet your ears are ringing from using an angle grinder without ear defenders.
