First Project !

My first ever project turned up this evening



happy days

 

good luck
awesome to see an early mk2 being saved

 

and i thought mine was green when i picked it up, has this been in a swamp ?
haha
Body looks pretty straight, good luck pal..

 

wow that is a very green car! good luck with it!

 

Wow, that looks like it's actually been dredged up from the sea. Does it have skinny side strips on it?

 

the other side aint quite so bad



cheers for the comments i will get some clean pics up soon

 

your right it ain't so bad from that side!

 

If it's like most early mk2s the shell will be pretty solid under the grime! And the motor assuming it's not seized has so few electrics it should start up with little hassles. What are he plans? I'd keep it original as it's looked to have been fairly unmolested, are the p-slot centres with the car?

 

Cool!! I'd love to be the first to go over that with a sponge!!!

 

I love early mk2, good save and I look forward to pictures of progress

 

here are a few more pics of her at her new resting place

 

managed to spend about 4 hours on her over the last couple of days

jobs to date
quick clean all over
clean cut and polish roof
all wheel arch brows removed
door trim removed
sill stickers removed

 

under the dirt that is really dirty!, but good progress cleaning it up!

 

Stick with it mate! lot of work but well worth it in the end! nice to see another mk2 kept alive

 

Good effort, I really like the early ones. Looks like a nice project. I'd keep it OEM too it'll look lush when it's in its new crispy white paint.

 

Bit more stripping done today

 

Nice save there its good to see another early mk2. I miss mine [:^(]

 

looks like you are going to be busy, good luck, it will be good to see it returned to its former glory

 

what are your plans for it?

 

wow thats some work you have!

Stick with it. What are the sills and 'a' pillars like behind the front wings?
