Will be doing it back to its original B5 blue, bog standard apart from electronic ignition, stainless exhausts and some suitable alloys I would think. I couldn't really fault the car so why change it.

It already has a mildly tuned 360, the previous owner put it in. Trans is the original to the car judging by the numbers on the case. Just wish whoever changed the colour of the car to black hadn't been so thorough!

Looks like someone's been there before Will, judging by the green foam and the Sikaflex!

Did the front fenders get done in the end?
The pump don’t work coz the vandals took the handles.

yes the car was blue originally. i guess it had a resto / colour change in the 80s. One fender is done, the other is much worse and has not been done yet.

Body and chassis apart , first time by the look of it.

poles are for sitting on to counterbalance. Rolls easily.

the floors are pretty good but the rear arches are hanging. Top part of Bulkhead needs work too. Bolts needed quite a bit of 'rocking' with the buzz gun before they'd actually come out. I could use some new ones, they are the same as B body K member bolts I think. Can they be got new?
