Love that Blue, and the roof currently reminds me of my old mk1. Damn rust kills most of these cars.

cheers
how's this going?
havent heard an update for a while
dan
finally a updated.
I folded Jarreds advice and sanding over the rust spots to bear metal. But this time i was using a sanding machine and decided to do everything again.
I think i did a good job, my old man said it was great and tomorrow were putting it in the garage to put some primer on it. After everything i put rust protection over the rust spots were.
Also i got some center caps for the steelies.
btw do you guys reckon im getting better at taking photos?

good work Gordan. About time the mk 1 got a bit of love.
photos are looking better too :wink:
good job mate :)
UPDATE....
I put the car in the garage today, YES.
Took off the the front windscreen to repair the rust.
Also i took of the bonnet to get it ready for painting.
I found quite a lot of rust under the windscreen put only surface rust. But there was also parts which needed some attention.(photos explain)
Also took some photos of the tools i was using to grind the rust off.
I gridded most of the rust off. It wasn't a big deal.
I will need to weld some bits up as well.
Regards.
Gordan.
