Thumbs up to this project! 

Cheers mate, haven't touched it in 2 weeks now as I'm waiting on parts

Haven't updated his in a while so here goes

This is the current state

These were be cracks in the bay

This time I have also had the skirts chopped so that I can remove the wings as and when I like

Having all of the sealer redone On the skirts

Above is the slice I the skirt where the wing joins up

All of the sealer removed

The skirts all fillered up

The inner wings before

After, all the this crap removed and cleaned up rest for new spray sealer with a 30 year guarantee

The state of the bay

Tiny dent in the bonnet

Cut the tabs of the bitten if the bumper too, all 3 of them

I have had the car repainted again, because if you slap too much paint on one panel it will never look right so off came the old

More progress soon

Wow, looks extreme but like you say - the only way to do it right.

 

Keep up the good work

Its heartbreaking to have to rip it apart again but it needs to be done.

 

I should hopefully have some nice updates this weekend or early next week.

 

Cheers mate

I hope you're friends with the sprayer, you must have a lot of money to spend on paint haha

Ha I a friends with him but still pay through the nose, but how I see it is, if iwasnt into cars i would be into something else wasting my money on other ways haha

Few more updates from the Bodyshop, it's in primer now, so paint won't be too long!

Soon, she will be finished.

So, another day and more updates, the car is being painted tomorrow so these are the last prep pictures!

The bay all masked up

I opted to have VW rubberised spray sealer under the wings and skirts, 30 year guarantee.

Rite into the corners

Sealant under the back of the skirts too

The finished brand new bumper

The rear of the bumper strengthened both sides

The bonnet

The finished wings

More updates tomorrow

So the car has been painted, I have opted for the best laquer he could get hold of, so it only needed 2 coats

The inner wings looking mint, really happy with them

I should have it back mid week hopefully, doors, bumpers, boot and bonnet to be painted tomorrow and that's it

The car should be ready for me to be pick it up tonight! These pictures are from this morning

Got the bases of my seats welded up and the brackets reversed also, just gave them a bit of etch primer for the bare metal and then gloss black to blend it all in, happy with how they came out for a quick job.

Ordered a chrome new trim, and late spec grill

And I will be picking my car up tomorrow finally! Just been flatted and polished today and spray undersealed!

I will have some decent photos soon, get the new lines on tomorrow and get the wheels on.

I'm soooo jealous!! Awesome stuff

Thanks mate, I get it back today swell as the bill 

The VW spec spray sealer/stone chip looks ace. Little things like knowing it's done right "behind the scenes " please me no end.

Keep up the cracking work and I look forward to seeing it home and with the rims on it

Cheers lofty, kinds words! It awesome stuff, it's rubberised so the stones just bounce off, and then I am putting arch liners in this time too.

I have done a bit of work on it tonight, got one side done, got a big day ahead of me tomorrow but I should get it something like and some nice photos up!

Looks fantastic mate. Wasn't tempted to change the colour as it was fully resprayed again?

I wasn't actually, especially with my wheels this year is suits it perfect, also with me being a perfectionist, I would of had to of had a glass out respray which from my painter would cost around 7k. Haha

It's off an mk3 octavia, same as the steering wheel man. It's a bit nerve racking having one of these, as they fit badly and sit really high, so I had to drill up the centre of it with a drill but the same diameter as the gear stick so hat it would sit lower! Just a word of caution

Nice work.

I've got the Octavia vRS gear stick as well but not fitted it yet. How did you manage to switch the leather over as i can't seem to seperate the plastic inside??

Also, how much drilling inside did you do?? I've shortened the gear rod down by an inch and drilled the inside a little on mine but it still seems to sit quite high.

The trimmers swapped over the leather for me, but in regards to the drilling, quite a scary amount, just keep doing a bit at a time, you can push it quite far in all honesty!
