I don't think I've posted this before, but I've been following this restoration for a while now: forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1468197   Nice G60 lump  Gorgeous!  I really hope i get to see it for real at a Euro VW show next year! I'm not sure if those pictures have worked, but check the linked thread... |

Why has he left the underside white? Looks a bit wierd like that. I'd have done it the body colour...which is a really nice colour BTW, Not keen on the wheels but I'm sure once it's all done it'll look sweet. Stange that the tail lights and number plate are in before any of the running gear is on!

Very very nice! As everyone else said, the wheels are very slightly over the top, and a body coloured or plain black underside might have worked better but I love the rest, it's some restoration.

WOW.. thats it, I'm building a bigger garage. I am actually building a bigger garage at the moment! We just moved house lately and tore down the rusted out corrugated thing that was barely still up in the driveway, and are planning a 10ftx20ft job, which'll take up a bit of room in the garden I know but think of the bigger motors you can get in that! (I'm off to find a GAZ Chaika!  ;D ;D ;D) |

I've been building a workshop for myself for the last two years  I'm no carpenter so this sort of work doesn't come naturally unfortunately. I'm nearly done though...I reckon it'll be finished by the end of November. I made it 24ft x 24ft with walls 8' at the side and a ceiling about 9'6" in the center. Plumbed in a water supply and it'll have power and air. Might even put an extractor in it too so I can paint properly in there. So far it's cost me about £3000 in materials including 7 tons of concrete for the floor. It's all going to be lined with 28mm MDF and insulated in the cavity so it should be warm in the winter. I'll be damned glad when it's done as I'm tired of screwing in screws and getting splinters ;D  |

Here is the latest picture of the Fiesta I was on about.  Its running a 1600 engine, and has basically been completly rebuilt once its done it'll be the most complet MK1 on the scene imo. |
