Personally speaking, I think you've done a stunning job there considering your location etc, Most of that will, almost certainly, "buff out" when you mop it, (Love your threads and writing style by the way,) Nigel

As I've already said, this is going to be a stunning looking car when it's finished, (Do the kit cars have the odd seating angle ?? I seem to recall seeing somewhere that the occupants are "angled" towards the centre of the car in genuine examples) Another issue I'm fascinated by is the monies that kit cars now demand, not so much the upper end kits such as this but more the lesser kits, I suppose that you pay for what you get and well built / finished cars will get the premium they warrant, Nigel

While I have zero interest in motorbikes I have to say, the standards of your (& Sons) work is first class, I'm pretty amazed too at your joint prolific work output, Thanks for the write ups, really enjoyable reading, Nigel

Brilliant, I would like to add though you are starting to cost me money lol, Decided I like the idea of garage decorations so as well as saving some old number plates I've also bought some cheapy imitation signs as well, This can only end badly for me !! Nigel

With any sort of injury Mr. T you have to work "at your own comfortable pace" whenever possible, Too much haste can only be detrimental to both your health and whatever work you are carrying out, It'll still be there waiting for your recovery, (Brilliant work as always by the way ) Nigel

Mate, your work is first class, Loving all the projects you are currently working on, it's nice to see the Toledo marque getting the credit it deserves and, with the power train upgrades, simply stunning, Don't really know how I've missed this thread previously but definitely now bookmarked, Nigel

Nice looking little car, loving the work done so far, (for it's age it appears to be in remarkable condition, ) That guy in S.A. appears to have, as you say, a beautiful collection of Golf's, Looking forward to seeing future updates on this project, Bookmarked, Nigel

Absolutely excellent work here, To your usual high standards, Can I ask please, why did you not want to weld over your previous weld, does this.cause a weakness or similar ?? Thanks, Nigel
