Mk2 exhaust is off my Mk1 and is being fitted tommorow after nats :)

Looks like a good base, Get the dodgy bits sorted, some cutting compound and it will shine again.

Reminds me of when i got my mk2.

How much is the receipt for the rivetted door fix? lol Doesn't look too bad, most of it's just cosmetics :)

Some nice rivet-work there!:)

Seriously though, the interior looks pretty clean and I'm sure a few hours of elbow grease and you'll have it looking half decent..

Nice one, free too, so it's all good :thumb:

Id chuck filler on them, then find some mint doors.

But apparently i bodge things.....
Pete
22-05-10, 10:06 PM
Yeah, im going to see if i can get the plates off and then put a skim of filler :) then await some new door lol

You'll have to drill the heads off the rivets but god knows what else those cowboys have do to hold them on lol

Have some rep for getting a FREE motor.

Pete

when i sell my mk1 then i might do, depending on how it comes up after a few days of t-cutting ;)
Southie
22-05-10, 10:59 PM
What's the condition of the rest of the doors as it might be better to have plates welded in then skimmed and repainted.

My words your gonna need a lot of t-cut for that. lol
Pete
22-05-10, 11:01 PM
no word of a lie but the rest of the doors are mint, no rust at the bottom or anything :) just a shame on the plates
Southie
22-05-10, 11:06 PM
Well if you know someone who can weld well then get those doors sorted IMO.
Pete
22-05-10, 11:22 PM
ive got it booked in to be looked at and if the bloke can weld it on the day then hes going to. im hoping he can :)

U'd be best off using a cutting compound and warm soay water on the paint mate t-cuts not abrasive enough to cut through the dull layer.
