Man, you're brave. Got to that car right before it rusted away to nothing.

Work looks good though, are you going to keep it Sahara or go with another color?

The color question is the biggest debate right now.

Sahara is not that bad, but id like to have it something close to "grey mouse" as i use to say, it looks so vintage.
Audi has some nice gray on their TT, i will have my friend who works in a paint store look at it.

Probably Bristol, Fjord or polaris neu.
I will put on early style wheels with hubcaps as well for sure.

Believe me the body is not that bad, ive seen others way more bad, especialy my white one.

today update...
i spent a lot of time adjusting the fiberglass fenders, and making them look straight.
I also fixed the rear left shock tower and also the top of the nose near the rad. That portion has been saw zalled by po for a very obscure reason, probably to reach the nuts of the center grille...i couldnt look straight so i had it sprayed with gravle guard, then the sprayable bondo over that will striaghten it a lot.
Next will be to fix/adjust the front bumper once i will receive some known good source bumper ends.
I still didnt find the source of the one i have. grrrrrr.
Soon i will spray over a coat of spryable light bondo, will get it surfaced straight then primer...i cant wait for this day to come...i am a bit late on this project.

Thanks.

small update...i didnt spend all the time i wanted...its summer time, vacations, i am lazy, too much beer,...

I removed what was left from under the hood so i can clean the firewall and all the rest.
I was not supposed to go that far under the hood. I told myself...why not.

First coats of "reface" stuff...light sprayable bondo.
I blocked it all 2 times to mask all imperfections.
This car gona be straight.
It requires a lot of elbow grease as i do it all manualy. Pff !!

yup, elbow grease. thats it.

What i do IS a restoration. Taking a new a like shell and putting all new parts on it is just an exersice of showing that you have deep pockets...i do not btw.
So today i fitted the ?%$?@#? bumpers.

It is just the pre-test fit so i know if it gona be ok or not...i like the overriders-less look.

Hey, who is looking at me up front...yeah, my white 02 of course...
