Update 03/04
Well I spoke to my mate at the bodayshop at the beggining of this week to organise getting the car to him. I hoping to have it with him by the end of next week.
With this in mind I had to get my a**e in gear at get a few things sorted for him. So I took half a day holiday from work on thursday and got stuck in. Basically there are a few small areas which needed to be sorted out.
Few Pics
Im really pleased with how flush the bodywork now lines up considering I have made all these parts from nothing.
The main thing was getting the front arches sorted and flatting the engine bay. Should hopefully be finished tomorrow.

Update 08/04
Right well my mate got intouch with me about getting the car in and its looking like its goin in in 2 weeks now due to his lack of workshop space. Its not a big problem though as the car is now completely finished bar the wing mirrors which arnt a major concern as they can be dropped off anytime after the car is there.
Today I decided to put the wheels on today to ensure that there were no unseen issues, which there wernt, thankfully. I couldnt resist the chance to take some photos.
Nothing left now so roll on paint. Then I just need to source a Gti donner car in order to rebuild the flaming thing. 4 years in the making (mainly due to me changing my mind all the time) and im finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
