Looking good Scott, bet you can't wait to see it all painted etc. Who's doing the work? (Sorry if I've missed it if you've already said)

looking good scott, cant wait to see the finished car
Forgot to add, if you look back on the pics the pin stripes been taken off, so no going back on that one! lol new one is about 0.5 mm thinner too, but nothing major eh..
Cheers Brake dust, yeah i cant wait too mate.
At this rate im tempted to get this car all done up and then sell my passat and use this daily, as i no longer cart tools around.
Scott
ive just picked up a 1.2 to use as a daily, xe costs a fortune on fuel, i can abuse the spi for £25 a week as oppose to the £75 the xe would cost me, if you decide to sell the passat scott drop me a pm, my dads after a new motor.
Looking good dude that wing fits a treat:thumb:
Will do, just needs a quick fiddle near the scuttle and A pillar, also not happy with the nearside wing repair yet.Quote:

So popped down the body shop today and did some things on the car, first off i knew there was a problem with the drives seat, i know it had a "crack" in the frame.... So i took it all apart for a better look.
BUT did not expect to find this..

So hefty buggers give that some hammering over time eh!
Just going to plate it either side of the frame, and seam it up, not worth getting another seat for that.
So a few update shots of the shell's progress.
Drivers side rear is almost read for paint, so is the front wing, it's fitting loads better now.

The fit by the A pillar is perfect now, as before it was quite high, well chuffed, and also the repair to the passenger side bottom is almost finished too..

And the near side rear repair lip turned up, so he got it on asap, heres some pics of it with fiberglass on, and the overlap technique he uses inside.

While i was there Wyatt got me to take the door locks and handles off, as he didn't want to damage the door cards etc.
Also how do you remove the in car adjuster handles for the wing mirrors, as i cant figure it out, none of my other nova's had them! lol
Scott
Looks good.
The little black lever for the wing mirror adjuster just pulls off.
Edd.
Good work going into this :)
