mk1 onion freshen up...
ok so my daily was a mk1 onion 1.6 ghia auto, boring as hell but kept me from tinkering..... then i zetec'd it lol and started tarting it up, but sadly it was in need of a fair old it of welding n TLC no doubt follwed by paint etc.... so i skipt the middle man n bought another one, a more solid mk1 onion to get painted n build up
blue one to be replaced by the black one!!
stripped her down n sent her off for paint wile i pulled the blue one apart!
work commenced, all rot was removed, skillfully plated and skimmed with filler... not jus blobbed over!
side repeaters removed
de locked
also the holes from chrome trim plug welded over!!
rear screen both sides had rot unfortunatly but was cut out n rid of!!
front needed a bit choppin to
arches wer solid unlike uva onion!
smoothed washer jets
de locked boot to
first lick of paint went on, Audi Phantom Shwartze black, slight silver metalic to it.
nice mint bonnet
little addition to the bonnet! marmite i no... but i like marmite!!
got the car back now n just sorting the suspension n brakes n everything underneath at the min, plus interior... gonna drop the lump in soon as i get a spare pair of hands to.
and sent wheels off for refurb the other week so expecting them back soon! (not stayin on the s1 wheels)
