Left my car at the bodyshop today!

[big nick]

And in 4 weeks I'll have the deepest, reddest paint on any Scirocco in the NW! (well until it starts to fade )

There's a few little changes being made along the way, nothing too blatant and nothing thats not easily reversed, but enough that you recognise it as being something a little bit out of the ordinary

I'll post progress photos on this thread as and when I get them

Nice one mate :)

[Nate]

you found a bodyshop open today? that's impressive!

[Village Idiots]

Looking forward to seeing the finished job.

Nate - They'd just finished an E-Type and the fella who owned it was picking it up at lunchtime. I tied my trip in with them being at work and got to see a Concours standard Mk1 E Type fire up and drive off..

pretty good day all in all : )

[Nate]

score

DEFINITELY looking forward to seeing this appear.

Also looking forward to the pics... Your location is manchesterish... Is the body shop NW too?

[big nick]

Its a place called Finesse Auto Bodies in Stockport - really chuffed that I found them tbh, all the other bodyshops round here were talking about masking over the windows and doing it in a day...

[Dutch GT]

I'm in Stockport so very keen to see what they do. Looking forward to pics or maybe seeing in the flesh at a show... Hope it looks awesome when done!

It'll be going up for sale when it's painted - I cant renew the lease on my place so I need to find a new one, and I'm single again so have nobody to split the deposit or the 1st months rent with.

Talk about bad timing eh?!

[Dutch GT]

Oh balls! You mean you only found out after it had gone in? That takes the shine off it quite literally... Hope you can find a way around it.

Right, so...

its been a crazy, up in the air, hard to gauge headache the last few days..

But (pending viewing the place) I think its all sorted - smaller and rougher but without the nagging bint taking up space

So I'll be keeping hold of it and going ahead with the planned engine conversion. Watch this space

[eefy]

Nice one fella I'll put you down for VWNW then ;)

glad everythings sorting its self out mate :)
