Default MK4 XR3i light restoration project

Found this MK4 XR3i which had sat in someone's garage for the past 13 years.
It is in lovely condition with just a few mods done to it by the previous owners, my plans are to return it back standard as it was when it rolled off the production line way back in the late 90's.

1st time out in daylight for a long time covered in dust!

passenger floor pan was also pretty good but there was a small weld patch where the floor meets the wheel arch (think I will get this re-welded while the carpets were up.)

at present all the interior seating is out getting valeted along with the floor carpet (drivers seat is at the trimmers getting repaired)

plan to tackle the dashboard and clean the plastics while waiting for everything to come back
will keep you posted on how I get on (oh by the way the bad boy bonnet is definitely going the journey)
Skoda....
