cheers for comments chaps. dave its turning out nicely not perfect by any means. i guess its all down to budget. ive seen equally good type 3's last year at bugjam (beige notchback). a lovely unwelded example with brand new stainless bumpers allround , now thats my idea of getting pretty close to pe...

cheers mark....thought it might be a novel idea, havent seen it done before so thought....why not.

well did anyone rumble me on the "new" air vents!!
i thought id have to come to a compromise when i cut them out as i didnt wont anymore water problems, so instead i airbrushed imitation vents back on the panel to give the illusion..

ok so i know i offended some people way back when i cut out the fresh air vents in the front panel so i hope this goes some way to keeping them people happy.. http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/col1600/IMG_20150214_165913_zpsmirqijdp.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/col1600/IMG_2...

Thanks broady, im getting there "eventually" that was a good while ago that i had a go at electrolysis, and im telling you .....that s@#t really works. i found it really affective, what i did was youtube the arse out of it and gather up the info on the do's and donts. there is a shed load of info on...

well dave 50% vw stock is still a fair ratio of motors. and i must admit, ive got a soft spot for an ol ford.

(editor dave)... somehow i knew that little crimp idea would appeal to you....

dave thank god im only sinking my time in to one car.

oh and cheers for the "non physical" push mate..

cheers david. i think if anyone spends SO much time on a project then a decent level can be achieved. ive found that if you devote to much time to any project the fun goes out of it, and nearly becomes a work like chore and not the hobby it should be. so i just walk away from it from time to time, w...

This is some of the work that went into reinstalling the new head liner not a job to be rushed but rewarding all the same.. the kit came with the main head liner and a large section for rear and centre pillars. i used the tried and tested bulldog clip route.(seen it done on here, cheers chaps.) http...
