looks like a big project for your first one , i would stop painting things that need taking off ( stripping ) and start practising welding , dont take this the wrong way good luck with the build, if you need any advise or parts your in the right place

Good luck with this project mate you have to look at all the work to be done as a huge reward when its all finished.

I know its tempting to paint the odd thing to give you an idea of what it might look like when its all finished but I'd focus all your attention on replacing the rotten body.

I really hope you stick at this mate it will be such an experience from start to finish

Good Luck

i Had the same problem with mine i bought it when i was 15 hoping to be ready for my 17th my 17th was on christmas eve and its still not ready and im resorting to a mk3 polo :/

I was hoping to have mine ready for my 17th but that is unlikely know as things have cropt up, I don't really mind as I don't want to cut corners, I'd much rather do it right first time. I would much rather by a project so then you get the satifaction that you have built it and you can put your on things on it.
