Time scales are meant to be broken mate........
ideally hopefully done in about two months, bound to go on for longer though just gotta get the welding in the bed done, a bit more filling then it'll be in the spray booth.......can't wait.

This is my chosen hue........ audi aviator grey, vw vapor blue

nice one dude, i was gona suggest dolphin grey cause nimbus is maybe a little over done but that aviator grey looks cool too. mine is just at the body work stage atm, next lesson is teaching myself how to lead load!

get urself some .6 wire, a flap disc and a day and the welding will be done mate!

Got a wheel in mind yet or is that under wraps!

Up date finally......

Welding, smoothing, filling and sanding......its all I seem to do....AHHHHHH...

Only need two holes for the wipers so the other two are no more.

This used to be an aerial, deleted from the wing and moved to the roof by previous owner....and deleted all together by MOOSE.....Welded from the inside and ground back...

Also took the sealer of from behind the once scuttle.....Heat gun soon took care of that......


Got next week of work......so I'm goin dor a big push to get some paint on her soon as poss......New bumper comin this week.....canny wait..

Pics pics pics.....mow i've finished doing this for the parents......
which was fun for the day, i've got the rest of the week to concetrate on the caddy, been prepping for primer today, hopefully it'll go on back end of this week.

Whilst waiting for the primer to go on i'll be cleaning and painting the engine, and prepping the engine bay for primer.

Things are coming together now, gathered most of my parts, trim etc
And seems as i'm outta work at the mo, the credit crunch is hitting us tradesmen, i'll be spending alot of time on the caddy.

As the light was nice today I decided to take some outdoor pics.....enjoy.
