I have obtained a replacement paint code sticker for my Schwarz Storm, from distant memory I seem to remember that this is found on the rear slam panel to the right of the boot lock. Can anyone confirm this is the correct location? The only advice I can find is that the Mk1 Golf had them stuck to th...

My ability at updating this thread unfortunately represents my ability at getting on with working on the car, but some progress has been made over the last year. All the bodywork has been repaired, this was completed last summer. Below are a selection of photos of the work: http://i35.photobucket.co...

Ryan, the wheels and tyres originally fitted were 175/50R15, with a 15x7 rim ET35. They were just catching on full bump, and while the car is in bare metal I thought I'd get the rear archs rolled to ensure that there was clearance.

My plan with this restoration is to do it right first time so I don't have to do it again, I know the ...

Progress was halted after the first post due to various work commitments, 2 house moves etc so I never achieved the desired endstate last year. However, things have started to move on. I managed to strip the shell completely over Christmas and managed to get it down to the acid dippers at the beginn...

Haven't really posted anything since the forum migrated to this one, so time to change that. Well, having had her sat outside for the last year and a half I thought it was time to start the restoration. When I bought FAX back in August '07 I knew that she would need a strip down and rebuild in the n...
