My Autoshite Restoration.

[andrew e]

Sehr Gut! I have a green Siku one, but its a bit smaller! How the hell did you come by a new old stock roof skin?

 

With great difficulty

I found a German bloke who had a barn full of parts.

He didn't speak English and I don't speak German so we communicated via pictures and shouting in our respective languages

 

Hey I got a distrubutor fitted in Hungary last week using the exact method!

[TagoraSX]

Latest installment.

 

New rear suspension and brakes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[worldofceri]

Wow. Can't wait to see this one finished.

[hairnet]

barefoot lmfao

 

tag youre a complete leg-end early front are the bolox (hi french crewe bloke)

 

some coin going into it tho - gonna be worth it

[Pete-M]

 

Mannfred, this chap is good job doing with Audi, ja?

 

Cool as. Well done squire, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished article.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

That resto is full of spectacularness.

 

All you need on the drive to complete that eighties 'What Car?' group test look is a dark metallic E12 528i and a Rover 3500S. In Gold.

 

Seriously - well done. I did my body/paint apprenticeship at a VAG garage in 1986-7 and there were still quite a few second gen 100's around as well as Series 2 80's, Jettas and Mark 1 Rolfs. My first job was putting a wing on a 1977 Mark 1 Polo. It was an auction bound shitter - pattern wing FTW!

[RedSparrow]

Missed this thread before.

Well done on all your hard work! Great reading about it.

Feel I must add my two-penneth, this is spectacular, love the old bus, and it's going to be splendid when it's done.

1795.245/10.

Make sure you obtain classic insurance with a mental valuation. You don't want this car to be written off for a broken headlight in a Morrisons carpark.

[bigstraight6]

Excellent work, like some of the other chaps I'm amazed you were able to source that new roof panel I can't wait to see pics of the finished article

[simmo]

What a fantastic project, the work looks top quality, I look forward to seeing the old girl completed

[TagoraSX]

Small update on this one, I'm hoping it will be finished by the end of January.

 

Wheels looking much better in their original colour.

 

Fitted with some new rubber.

 

 

New cambelt and waterpump.

 

Thankfully, it is starting to resemble a car again!

[Anglevan]

Cracking restore - keep the updates coming. I served my apprentiship on these and have worked on a few. Respect for rebuilding this one.

[TagoraSX]

Small update, it is finally starting to resemble a car again

 

Still lots of small things to do but the end is in sight!

 

 

 

 

 

[Father Ted]

This thread is AWESOME.

You rock.

[Pete-M]

It is rather bloody wonderful.

 

Can't wait to see this thing when it's completely completed. Rock on!

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

STUNNING.

[worldofceri]

Phwoar!

 

That is all.

[Manbearpig]

Epic. These were rare and imposing even when new, this advertising shot was one of my favourites

 

[boobydoo]

I actually went "Oooh!" out loud reading this. It's blummin fantastic!!! Cant wait for the final reveal!!

[Betaboy2.0]

Wow - I'm lost for words with this resto ... and that doesn't happen often!

 

You must bring it along the the party!

[Ross_K]

 

I doff my cap to you sir. That's all.

[scooters]

bloody hell!

 

custard spluffingly awesome matey

[face]

Alphaville-tastic

[Lord Sterling]

Man, that is one restoration job I like seeing. Keeping it stock FTW!

 

That car will be almost like new when finished, dare I say it, probably even better than new

[TagoraSX]

Nearly there!

 

 

[Skizzer]

HOLY SHIT that looks good.

 

Legend.

[Cavcraft]

Christ on a bike that looks mega. Top work!

[Pete-M]

Epic! That is gorgeous. Blows mine into the weeds and rightly so, that is one proper job you've done there.

 

You must be grinning like a wanking chimp at the result. Utterly splendid behaviour.

[ashmicro]

Magnificent! Top job Sir.
