robrado974 1 Posted October 2, 2014 Great news Sean , can't wait to see the pics . Lovely fresh paint . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted October 2, 2014 Thanks chaps, typical that I've not been doing much at work the last couple of weeks, but I start courses again non stop from the 13th until April. Mic, I've got quite a bit to be getting on with before its back on the road. An entire interior loom to fit, new bits and pieces all over the car, pretty much a full ABS system replacement, and 288mm front brake upgrade. Probably won't be back on the road until Christmas. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted October 3, 2014 Pics! Phone pics so not great quality and the car was a bit dusty, but even so they've done a great job! I may give it a finishing polish when the paint has hardened, but I'm pretty happy to be honest. :D He did take some photos of with the car at various stages too which he showed me, and is going to email so I'll have a bit more for the gallery when its all done. I'll have it back in my hands in a week or so, and can't wait!!! I also picked up a Mk3 Golf sunroof mech today which I'll put my freshly painted cover on. I'm pretty much there now apart from some glue for the bonnet foam, ready for assembly! :dance: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted October 3, 2014 Thanks for all the positive comments guys. :thumbleft: I can't stop looking at the photos and the reflections, even without a coat of wax! I can't wait to start putting it all back together, I just need to keep reminding myself not to rush it for fear of scratching the it now! I really want to get it back on the road sharpish though, otherwise what's the point! Giving myself until the beginning of December to get it in for MOT.

clumpy1 11 Posted October 3, 2014 Give it plenty of time to harden mate I know how tempting it can be to get on with it but it will be worth it even more if you take your time. You will have plenty of other stuff to put back first though (interior wise). It just shows what can be done good on you :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted October 3, 2014 Yeah I know buddy. wiring looms first so they should keep me busy for a while! I'll do the ABS system after that so should give me plenty of time. I'm not touching the exterior for a couple of weeks apart from to fit the sunroof and making the car watertight in case I need to leave it in the open. Hopefully not though!

seanl82 23 Posted October 3, 2014 Indeed Sean! Still can't believe the missus approved it though, as we all know, it was actually her money! Just need to get enjoying it before I bugger off in April for 8 months! :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
