Progress on my Mk1
Been a while since i posted about my Mk1. Been so long that the thread has been archived. Last week I got the car back from the painters and It came up very nice, Now the long job of putting the car all back together has begun, but at least now everything that gets fitted shows some satisfying progress.

Very tidy work Geoff.
The way it sits you would assume it already has the motor in. Very Tuff!
