A bit of an update on the MK2

decided not to go with the the acid dipping as the bodyshop advised me that the car didnt need it so its been partly blasted instead

I allways thought it was quite a good shell to start with but didnt realise it was as good as it is considering its neary 30 years old

going away to the blasters







Back from the blasters





























The doner roof for the roof swap




a few bits ive had cleaned up too




More pics to follow of the floor when the bodyshop get the car onto the spit
