Cheers mucker. The idea behind this is to create a bit of euro-muscle car looking type thing. Bit of a blend of stuff ideally. It'll probably never work mind you! Thanks for the comment though.

Oh yes indeed I do! And as such with another show looming I thought I'd do a bit more painting.............cos it went so well last time ;D Front panel this time The front end has gotten to be a bit 'crusty' in places. I'd treated it with some rust converter (vatcan) ages ago and have been saving to get the front end and rear panel sprayed professionally. However it seems just as I get some savings put away we end up having to buy food or something equally as pointless so I thought I'd have a go at the front and the rear panel myself as a temporary fix. When I did the slam panel a few years ago I used a spray can and the paint match was better than Halfords (well it kinda green what more do you want) attempt at paint matching. Luckily I had 3/4 of a can remaining so i thought I'd have a go with that instead. Please keep in mind that this is a short term fix and the whole of the panel will be sandblasted and done properly shortly! So front end stripped down (again) and all sanded down You can see the areas of rust that have been treated and the poor colour match repairs made by the previous owner Note the cunning use of blocks to lift the car up a bit. (I'm getting old i think cos my back begins to ache after bending down working on a lowered car! ;D ) All masked off and ready for painting Chucked some etch primer on it, some primer sanded it all down and chucked on some colour Left it cure for a week, sanded it down with 2500 grit wet and dry and then chucked a can of lacquer at it Just got to wait for a bit and then sand down and polish up. Hopefully the colour match will get better at this point

Came out all right after a bitof sanding and polishing With The Cornwall VW OwnersClub show coming up I thought I'd try something a bit different. :lol: Bumperless :blink: Although I like the idea of bumperless I'm not to keen on the the way our back panels have the 'lump' in the back panel. So I needed a panel Take a length of aluminium, paint into the lines and polish the upstands, a bit of cutting and 'gentle persuasion' later: The other problem with running bumperless is indicators at the front. I've always liked the front end of the Alfa rally cars. Something like this So a bit of modification to some old spot lights and some side repeaters that I had lying around plus a bit more aluminium to 'tie' in the front and rear, plus a bit of mesh et voila Grrrrrr :lol: Slight problem in that the resisitance of the smaller bulbs in the repeaters now grafted into the spot lights aren't as high as the orginial bulbs and the indicators flash a bit quickly, but added some resistros and all good! It's a bit different I know, let me know what yoy reckon

Well it's been a while. Two sets of suspension later, found some series one chrome bumpers and finally managed to get the cragars fitted. What an epic battle that was! Talk about 'clearencing' still got there in the end.
