It's been 7 months since I had a little oversteer induced off road excursion :oops: and done this damage to my baby :cry: :cry: as well as the all the suspension damage

I wasn't too worried about the cosmetic damage as the plan ever since I bought it was to get full respray. So the buying started, with some rust free doors on ebay, rsi skirts & wilwood 4 pots :cool: from diamondgeezer on here, rear bumper off cliodan87, tailgate off cant remember who, and a set of wheels for me to refurb.
Would like to say thanks to the above for sorting me out and was good to meet you all as well and hopefully I'll meet a few more now I've got the car sorted.
I went to the bodyshop at the end of march and booked it in for the respray at the end of may. In the meantime I swapped these

Then when she went in I made a start on the wheels, here's what they looked like when I got them back from being shot blasted

Then filled & sanded all the kerb marks & missing chunks with chemical metal and 4 coats of primer (no short cuttin)

Then the 1st couple of coats of gloss black paint

Then a few more coats, rubbed back with some 1500 grit wet and 3 coats of lacquer

Great stuff!

All the saving up paid off :)

The more I see a nice MK1...the more I bl00dy want one!!
 
Great stuff, the valvers now mint, they are a rare breed now, it's ace !
One thing I noticed, why do you have phase 1 door mirrors on it ?

I'm loving the v6 did someone on here own it once ? Or did he get it from someone on here ? I think I recognise it.

Just a personal preference with the ph1 mirrors, I think they look smarter, you dont see many valvers with them on these days. I've always prefered ph1 mirrors and ph2 grill tbh

The vee used to belong to riz, my m8 picked it up 3 days after I got mine back

Got myself an F7R lump in the garage to play with:cool: high compression rebuild on throttle bodies is the next stage :rasp:

I did wonder about the mirrors, I prefer the phase 2's tbh as you can see more with them. Each to their own etc.
