    Resurrection of a classic

    Hi guys, i bought the twin wreck from Max. Instinct told me back in the day it would be a good fixer but needed my 80 yr old beater to verify that, my dad would have looked at it and would have said yep no worries but needed the gun to look at it. I was well prepared to break this and use it for a conversion. But i had faith in my beater , he still makes stuff with Engish wheels so you see where im coming from . As its fast becoming a cult classic i had to have it and very much got excited when he said yep no worries. My wife needs a car for her teaching jobs now and what a great excuse to give a nice car to her and still own a classic??? yeah?? oh yeah.
    Stick with me
    Cheers

    Hopefully getting the VR sent to have its bum fixed in next couple of weeks. Ive decided the Recaros i had destined for my Pog project will now be headin theVR way now. So itll be a rethink for the Polo or another set of Recaros. Mind you i still might get a set of VR seats from the sale section depending how this month goes and they could end up in the Polo Who knows, you know what builds are like. Chop change chop change chop change hey

    Sorry no pics just yet but happy to say my instinct has been right and no panels reqd at all. Just been for a look after its had it's alignment on the dozer. Really happy with the result. Be painted at the weekend and will be using glasurit, this is Vw specified so not just anything getting mixed up. Needing a smooth untextured rear bar cover and would be so good to have it soon whilst paint is in the gun but essentially can do it anytime
    Pics coming soon
