Ye I know what you mean with the body work, mine needs new sills but that's a job for winter I think now with it passing its MOT.
Sorry but can't help with any of them but I'll keep an eye out for you for sure

quick update as this is a rather exciting stage. Some paint going on! Well, high build epoxy primer anyway:







that'll then get flatted back.

Time for another update, the last couple of months have involved lots of priming, flatting, smoothing etc... to get it ready for paint.

Doesn't make for the most exciting photos but here they are anyway....



















So now it's pretty much ready for paint, the next update I post, it should be red again and very shiny.

it's painted and been back in my garage now for the best part of two months so best put an update up!













I haven't touched it since as I've been spending some time on my black track g40 which I took to Cadwell last Friday and blew the gearbox up :(

So I really want to build up one of my spare gearboxes and get my black polo driveable again before putting it away in storage, then I'll have space in my garage to work on the red one. First job will be brake lines and fuel lines.

Brilliant build thread bud, excellent work a proper job. I've used some of the bilt hamber stuff in the past and found it to be very good. Brings back memories of my old red G40 I should never have sold  :D

If you don't mind me asking how do you upload such high qaulity photos to your thread? I'm new to posting and I have an on going project I'd like to share and some old pictures of my red G I'd like to share.

Once again brilliant work, can't wait to see it finished  :D
