todays update on my car was only getting the fibre glass tailgate fitted which actually fits quite well its only a single skin.

My main focus of the day was the other golf needed to get it into full primer and fit the wings up as we need to get it off to paint.

I am so glad I don't live closer........the ability to resist a nice mk2 only exists because you and Trev are safely in another county.

Great work as always. Still think you should take yours to Eschdorf.
