Default Mk4 Cabby Front End Resto

Well it all started when I saw this cabby on Ebay, as it was local i went to see it and paid £200 for it.

I put it in for an mot and it failed on back brakes and 2 little patches welding. After a good clean up and new wheels it looked like this for the rest of the year.

At the start of this year i decided to get rid of the rust so started to rip all the panels off.















The car was put on hold after that due to the import of this



After a few months I put the car to my Uncle who used to restore cars. After a few weeks the new panels went on and transformed the front back to new metal.

































How the car looks just now, All the hard work to get ready to paint next

Great repair, suprising what can hide behind the bumpers
