Alan,

I've just looked at your 'fill, fill, fill' picture - Coo! That suspension looks mighty interesting...

have to say it looks like the bodywork will be well sweet how hard is it to do was debatin a similair idea my self


and nice to see a mk1 gettin a mention on ur site

The bodywork is probably 3 times more difficult than the rest of the car combined Not because it's technically difficult, it is just SO tedious.

With the rest of the build you can make a long checklist and at least see some progress as things get ticked off. With the bodywork the list is short. Fill, rub, repeat many times

However, people telling me it's looks OK and they like where I'm heading helps a lot! So I do appreciate it. Another thing I'd recommend is plenty of pictures, that helps to convince yourself you actually have made some progress

Yeah, Mk1's, fond memories. I've done a few rallies in them in the past, basic car, solid, simple, reliable.

nothin like the sight and sound of a gd mk1 wit a bda bombin down a forest stage
