Custom Bootlid Project.....Painted PG4

Decided to get another bootlid to work on, as the one on the GTI is a genuine New one that aint very old

This one has had all the unnescessary bits welded this afternoon, and the next stage is to figure out a plan for the plinth.

It will be flushed over, but with a wee twist (dont think i've seen any like this but may be wrong)

Bora.............

 

Should be interesting, how long till its ready for paint do you think?

 

hrrm, ive seen it done on a mk1 convertable, not sure about a Mk2 though.

 

Thats prob a better pic - flushed with the step across the width.

Should be ready by next week probably. No hurry though

"denied"


when you suggested i do the bora look on mine, i replied, "crap!"

and i'm maintaining that until proven wrong

 

I need that back.Someones offerd me money for a complete 1. 6 driver.
Christ,I know you said you were bored and needed something to do,but thats quick work.
Must've started as I was driving away.

 

Like that, but without the blend on the step, havin it right across

 

Nice idea

 

how are you going to do that? weld in hunk of sheet steel on top!? take a chissle to it?


tim

 

nice idea andy, be interesting to see how it comes out.

 

Few more pics - got the steel partially shaped now, final finishing will be done when welded and bonded in place

The screws are there to hold it in place when i apply some adhesive to the rear of it to bond it on, and then shall be plug welded and welded along the top.

Cant weld at the bottom cos i need to keep the clean edge, so has to be secured the other ways

 

cool looks good!


whos garages is that? i thought you had a barn type place to work in?


tim

 

mint mate

 

looks good dude.

 

Should spend more time getting your exhaust to fit properly.........

 

Not convinced yet, need to see it finished!

 

gutted andy
