yeah, a bit more progress tonight, thats right gave up bubble cup to bleed the brakes, but it was worth it...

this is from a couple of nights ago

since then i have built the rest of the brakes up. i had new brake hoses and lines made up. which came up really good...
so happy to have the car back on its feet.

I got this poor old gld off another forum member

I have salvaged a few bits off it, but this is the main reason for getting it

I might try and salvage the wheelhouse as well, the previous repair on the orange one aint great.

wow may was my last post that is a bit lazy
well i have been doin other things with my other cars
anyway since german autofest i have had some motivation/time to have a bit of a look at the front of the mk1 and start some resto work

bit of rust - same both sides, no biggy

this is a bit crap though. someone has opened up the lip on the guard welded to the front panel and filled over... nice

happy how this is coming up had a few dents here and there, looking good now
this guard was sealed on down the pillar with no bolts, i half destroyed it getting off, but its back in some sort of shape now.
fair rust repairs needed on lower section of guard and guard frame... should be fun
