Default project mk3 xr3i cabby

ive recently bought a mk3 xr3i cabby for a bit of a project to keep me busy during the winter months

it doesnt need much work doing but i have a few ideas and want to make it to my taste

it has the full mk4 interior fitted which i like over the mk 3 interior so thats a bonus

1st job was the engine bay which had about 29 yrs of dirt oil and grime plastered all over it

so ive given it a service and cleaned it up

next job is the exterior

i agree the gold is a bit "marmite" to be fair

but all im doing is redoing what previous owner had done yrs ago and started to peel off ect so saves fully stripping it back to metal
