Mike's progress

Been at this about 3 weeks now.

Front fixed on.
Rear dry fitted.
Covered the roll cage in vinvyl, quite pleased

looks good
Now start the little things, prime and sand,:smow: :smow: :smow:
I hope you make it to the bbq.
It does not have color on it, which I find even better.
For me there were three stress cracks the first 500KM.
Which I then fixed and tested 300 Km.
Now the color has 500Km on it and all is well

Nice work, I'm still at the dry fit stage after 6 weeks but I'm going use the excuse that the convertible kit has never been fitted onto a Mk2. Truth is, I'm plucking up the courage to start cutting lumps out of it in case I cock it up but I'll get there.

Looking good Mike, like the rear light format. Keep at it.

The roof is nicely flat.

Did a quick rattle can job on this corner to see if I have the shaping process right.

Quite happy, now just got to carry on filling, sanding, filling, sanding......
