So I promised my daughter I'd build this up for her first car and her 16th birthday present
She wanted it schwarz of course (Good girl) and picked out Teledegas for it
Been so f#*king busy and thought the other day ah I've still got over 3 weeks till her birthday
But remembered I have to go away for my other daughters state finals on the 15th
So I have just under 2 weeks to panelbeat, paint, reassemble everything, fit new GTI interior, lower, fit new wheels and tyres and service in just under 2 weeks
Why do I always do this to myself
So I started yesterday
Unpacked it all and assesed the situation...........fuckme!
So stripped the front gaurds got them straight and into colour
Prepped the GTI body kit and got it into some colour
Painted doors and bonnet
Repaired rear gaurd and door jam where old mate had made a mess
Today layed on some clear pretty happy with results, be better if I had a booth cut down on dust but should run out nice
Hopefully tonight should have door jams done and in colour and cleared all going well.

OK everything is in colour and cleared except the wheels.
Will leave it to harden tomorrow
Tuesday assembly day
Drive Wednesday!
Dunno if you can see it in pics but got a run in the last coat of clear
Don't know why but I always seem to go just one too many
5 beers and shit light doesn't help though
It'll rub out once dried and if needed it's an easy spot to hit with clear again
Wheels are a little rashed, but the price was right........FREE!!
Have cleaned them up and sanded down ready for paint
Now to clean my nose out with some thinners and a cotton bud
