Yea, guess so. I'm already loosing the spare wheel well though becase it can't carry a big enough wheel.

Turns out Dynamat is made from butyl rubber. I need to figure out what will melt that. Gun wash doesn't

This car could never be sold. I would have to ask for about £15k for it once it's done and that just isn't going to happen. Ever.

I can't tell if this is progress or regress... You decide Though I am getting ready to spray up the underside and enigne bay which is happening at the weekend if all goes to plan. All the bits should be sorted for powder coating this evening so I can drop them off at Spray Blast Fabrication tomorrow morning after getting the tyres pulled off the wheels at ATS or by MattB ()











I promise that I will take my camera down to the workshop some time soon to get some proper pics too as these are a bit poop. I'll wait until something interesting happens.

Oh, the paint is being mixed up today too. I think Tom has some underseal for it too which will be put over the bits that are rusty after treatment and I am off to get the steel to weld over the boot floor in a minute

I think it's off of a Mk IV Golf. That's what I asked for at least. I'm missing the lights at the moment though...
