Thanks Fellas, The dash will take time to finish as I will be waiting on delivery of my new seat material, dash will be trimmed to suit, and extra material is on order to cover that(currently finishing off the trimming of foam and gluing).

Realistically looking at starting the final painting process in the next few weeks, if all goes to plan

Great build! Never really been into mk1s but this has been great, restoration definitely going along well!!

Cheers mate,

So since my last update, I have gotten the car prepped for paint, and have got it into my garage and primed(see pics below)
















Also sanded the whole car with 400 grit and then some areas that I felt needed particular attention with 800 grit.










Also finished off the dash, as much as I could without material here(picked that up today from the post office)







Oh and I had to try one of the headrests onto the seats, just wish I got the shipment in full, but according to the tracking on USPS, the other half is still in New York. I think the 2 colours are going to suit the mk1 perfectly. The material is grey and black tweed cloth and is very 70's.

At last, a Golf owner who looks nearly as old as me!

I loled hard. Cars looking good, getting close to having it on the road, must be exciting. What colour is she going to be?

Thanks mate. It's going to be polar white L90A paintcode, same as OG colour.

Here's a pic of a little bit I sprayed from the same batch that will be going on the car(had 4 pressure packs made up for touch ups).

Got some painting done, not fully done yet, but its getting there, once that is done, then I can clear it and start putting her back together

Sooooo keen.

And here are some obligatory pics,
