Car will look good when all back together :thumbs:

Do you have the GSi grill by any chance??

update: front number plate fell off that is all

Supose to take the paint off the surface before adding filler.
If you have jusy added about 2 ton of bog to smooth off then recess then its not going to last long, will just fall out after time.
Should off
- removed paint
- Key the surface
- P40 fiberglass the area
- P38 filler small skim
- Stopper the area
- High build primer

carried on smoothing the bumper




but decided to sell it on....

changed the wings for new ones off kerry....





then gave her a wash :)

Once its finished and nice and smooth trial fit it and if all is well get it painted

Should look :cool:

bumper progress isnt to bad. worried about the filler craking once it fitted but can only try :)

MOT yesterday failed :(

but got wheel bearing done, headlights alignement and brake adjusted.

and it passed :)

so 12month mot

yeah getting threre fibreglassing had gd progress first day its just gotta find tie to do some more know

fibreglassed the back of the bumper today with some mesh to get strength.

messy job i did as never used it before but i tried and i think itll have the strength but think ill do some more coats on the back later aswell as some to the front and some filler :)

really needs a new bumper that...

Today
all taped up damaged and bent


so decided to remove bumper ready for repair

it needs some work tape covers the damage in that pic.
so got a temp bumper :)

got that sorted

but still had to do bonnet on it, change a fuse and get new windscreen. so waited for sindscreen an to coe then drove to my nans where the bonnet was.

got it lined up one side but still sourcing a new wing so its a bit dodgy on the other side



thats it for know. got some fibreglass and filler so work will start on the bumper if i get time :) oh i also stripped the bumper of splitter and fog lights ready for work.

in the process of changing the bonnet also broke the windscreen washer pump so need a new one :lol: i bodged it so front washer still works thou:) just rear doesnt atm.

Cav wheels look so much better IMO

put the gsi wheels back on ;)

good thread :)

hope it all gets sorted as it was mint before

Looks good mate. Maybe should have kept the cav wheels tho. They looked ace.

As some of you know i had a 1.4 16v sport Gsi rep i built from scratch which was lowered 60mm with subs and tv screen and xbox in it. After a while i got bored of all that very quickly. i wanted something genuine and with a bit ore poke

i found this gsi with 82k on the clock owned by a old man that had it for 11 years!!! it has tonnes of history and wasnt anything wrong with it apart it could do with a new shock.

so i bought lt :D

the day i bought it






next day took the gsi and the sport to the garage and the sport went from this

to this

with some bits :)


i had some old alloys i hadnt used in ages so got them refurbed and powder coated


then the wheels were wrong offset so had to put cavs wheels on (which i wish id left) and i swapped my 60mm gmax kit for a 40mm bilstein Streetline kit


my 2 cars until the sport went :(


Car then got rolling roaded at perfect touch with CS and it ran 107bhp and 107lb/torque which i was happy as the performance new was 107/109




not alot happened for a while. i was happy with it so didnt feel the need to change it



then i got some bigger brakes - out with the old

in with the new




also painted rear drums :)


then for a laugh put 18" on it while on the ramps :|


the had a car washing session with willay;)





then about 3 days after on a very snowy day a tree jumped out in the middle of the road :(
damage wasnt to bad but took afternoon off work and had a little look to make sure everything was ok :)





then there she is all taped up :)


know today 10/03/06 its new windscreen a temp bumper while i try and repair the old one/ get a new one and im also fitting a new bonnet.

just need a wing know and as i said repair or locate a new bumper :)

ordered depos waiting for them and need them as MOT next week :|

ill update later :P
