Work On The Mk2 20v (Now with finished pictures!)

Started to go round the whole car and sort out all of the dents chips and rust spots, there are loads! never knew there where so many till i looked lol

Also smooting over some parts of the car, done the rear vw badge, golf gti badge and rear wiper. I also want to smooth the side indicators, does anyone know if this is illegal?? ino you dont need these to pass an mot so cant see how it would be.

Also taking the door safety plate off from around the handle as i really dont like the look of them, i was going to put mk3 handles on but thought i would keep the mk2 look.

There's not many pictures as i lost my camara and had to take them off my phone, but found it now so will get some more today.






Ive sanded down the door and its now all in primer.







Rear is also painted in grey now, but the colour match was not very good. I used the paint code...

LP7V Altas Grey

But ive now found another one that is...

LY7Q Altas Grey Metallic

So im guessing that were im going wrong, but if anyone know anywhere i can get a good paint match please let me know. Thanks

 

i hate bodywork stuff. its impossible

 

no thats not the attitude we like to see! lol well the rear smoothing has gone well and so has the door so i will battle threw and see how things go. I just picture the end result and it keeps me going lol

 

Done a bit more work over the weekend, sprayed the front two arch pannels in primer and also the bonnet. Found something under my rear passenger side arch i did not want to see!! but here are some picturs...

Found this when i took my arch off [:^(]




Putting some rust car on to eat away the rust and take back to metal




Sanding down marks around the car..









Pannels off..








Pannels back on..







Something to keep us going.. Beer and Mc Donalds trips

 

looking good dude

 

is it going in for a full respray once you have done the prep then?

will look good once its done...

 

Thanks, rich got his polo working again now, it just started working but says thanks for the offer to help

 

Yes going to be resprayed, cant decide on a colour/colours tho, guy whos helping/doing the painting wants it to be black from the roof down to the windows then grey underneath, with a orange line between the two colours, but im still not sure.

 

well done on doing that much yourselves, thats alot of patience!

hmmmm, imo get a photoshop done of what he wants to do before doing it, sounds different but im not sure on the sound of it.

what do you have in mind colour wise? anything at all?

 

Haha thanks, bit that takes the most is the filling and sanding lol

yer i want to just not sure what to ask for on the photoshop, i think i will just ask for people to try different things

 

So some more work has gone on over the past few weeks and the whole car is in primer now apart from the rear bumper as im just doing a bit of filling, here are a couple of pictures, some are good but some where taken off my phone so there not so good sorry.

Not really car work but just got bored and took everything out


Started to get the sides of the car ready for spraying,



Front door was already primered, thats why its a different colour, its just covered in dirt lol



Then it was time for the boot,



Then the front bumper & grill







Another random one,


Took the sunroof off to spray,





Just done the roof today,





Couple of pictures in tescos on the way home,




Sorry the photos arent very good and theres not many if the whole car now in primer, i did take some but there not on the camara, so i will take some more tomorrow when its light again.

Please let me know what you think Could do with a laugh lol

 

Yeah you do need them for an MOT..? Most will overlook it though

Good work, I'd never dare undertake that amount of work myself! I have no patience with paint!

Probably already said, but what's the end result going to be?

 

that car is calling out for small bumpers! especially now with it primer paintwork!

 

Ah i see well i know my garage quite well so should be ok, it past on its mot a month or 2 ago with no left side indicator so hopefully be ok.


Ahh its not to bad really just alot of sanding and filling to do! does hurt your arm all the sanding tho!!

Well i think the final result is just going to be keeping it all in atlas gray, was thinking about a black roof but not so sure now.

Any one got any ideas? I wanna keep it in altas gray just because it will make things alot easier, just wanted to add something else but not to sure what??

 

Great effort fellas!

 

Thanks Guys, also if anyone has a spray gun and compressor i could borrow or if anyone is selling one? or knows where to get a good cheap one from that would be helpfull

Best ive found is 100 for the compressor and gun

 

Lots of effort, fair play to you.

 

Nice work

 

Looking good lads! Would you be interested in some paid work looking for a good bodywork team lol!

Dan

 

make sure you get a big tank on the compressor or it runs out off puff quick and the coat becomes uneven!
