thanks!
right, the next job is to paint and rust protect the front end/inner wings/engine bay. I have completly scraped all the old silicone sealer stuff off the splash guards/inner wings today and rubbed them all down. New splash guards will be getting welded in and the seams will be getting stitch welded and a few plates welded here and there.
After the welding is done i want to paint the whole lot black. I would like to paint the inner wings/front panel/engine bay with black rattle cans from the local motor factors but need something to protect the rust coming back. I will put seam sealer over all the welds/plates. Is there a clear paint or something i can put over my nice shiny black paint to stop the rust coming through in the future? Cheers

i am welding my new splash guards in tomorrow and then going to seam seal the whole lot. After thats done i will paint the front end.
I also need to buy a complete set of brake lines. How much are new brake pipe sets complete?? Would i be better to put braided pipes on?how much are these?

yes thats what i am going for. Obviosley the bumpers will go black when the whole car gets re-sprayed. Need to buy a new set of copper brake pipes and braided hose to replace the rubber pipe that goes onto the calipers etc.
Then i will be getting the engine bay finished and engine back in. I am aiming to have it back off the axle stands and engine in and running soon. Then i can start worrying about paint and better brakes, interior and finishing touches. I am going to spend my money on getting it legal and through a mot first then if i have a bit of spare cash i will go on and buy extras!

go for the Mk1 but with clear indicators :)

going to have the mk2 gsi on first then maybe after a while i might bolt the mk1 stuff on. (only takes half an hour).I think the mk1 will look good when its all lined up properly and sitting on the ground. I will have the mk1 and mk2 bumpers/grille/wing all painted black to match the car.
