"junker"  AHAH

Did you see what it looked like when I got it?  More than one person said I should just part it out.  :o

Looking good liking the classic pslots.
Any plans for engine etc or just keeping it factory?

Cheers. P Slots are my personal favourite Mk1 wheel.
No "Plans" for the engine but plenty of "Ideas".

bloody good read, damn nice.

Catch up update:

So that aforementioned 'minor paint reaction' tuned into a full blown monster cock-up.  At first I thought maybe 1 panel needed repainted, then I looked some more and thought mabye 2 or 3, then 4 or 5.... Then 'oh crap' it's the whole car really.

In the process of investigating that, I also found out the painter has waaaay over sanded the primer, so the top coat just peels off with out much encouragement.

Present state of affairs is like this, again:

Getting the glass out is surprisingly easy. :-)

It's the perfect Mk1 trailer.

Thats the trailer i need to build!

...off for media blasting and epoxy next week...

There isn't a lot more I can do at the moment. Once the shell has gone to get blasted, I'll have some space to muck around with a few little things.
