Thanks. It will be reasonably low. Not to the point where ill be needing to avoid everything on the road.

unacceptable [ˌʌnəkˈsɛptəbəl]
adj
1. not satisfactory; inadequate the standard was wholly unacceptable
2. intolerable hitting children is unacceptable

THIS..is unacceptable




Long time with no updates since I didn't feel like working on the thing but hoping to have a bigger update soon with a better drastic change.

Cleaned out the interior which had a ton of garbage and parts in it to finish it off, fix some dings and scratches. Also removed the rotted hatch.




Not a professional bodyman but its good enough.








Had to fix a bunch of small dents from me storing shit on the roof and rock chips over the years.







Thanks for looking.

I take offence to that..... and nice work so far Dawid!

Thanks Aaaaaaaron.

Small update. Didn't spend too much time on the golf recently.
Mixed up some paint with hardener and did a few coats over the epoxy primer on the bottom. After it dried gave it a few coats of rocker guard over the painted spots. The spots where the oem seam sealer was good just got some black paint to match the rest of the floor.







Some more work on the fenders. Still a ton of work to do its depressing.

Thought mine was rusty...

[renngolf]

im addicted to this build real nice work...... freekin good!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit. This thread is so inspirational. The work youve done to this car proves to me that any old rust bucket can be restored properly back to life. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, you guys are making me all teary eyed..

Small update. Have a lot of stuff on the go. Rear floor and quarters aren't done yet since ive started to work on the front fenders that I took out of storage yesterday. I want to redo and keep these since aftermarket ones fit like crap.

All the mounting holes are still intact. No rot except for one odd spot on the drivers side fender that you can tell was masked and sprayed with something because of the buildup and rust coming through. Started stripping the spot and started cutting into a shit load of body filler. Turned out the fender had a decent dent by the lip and someone just bondoed over it filling the dent with about half an inch of body filler.

Perfect chance to try out some amateur panel beating


hard to see the depth in the pic but the whole center part was pressed in.


After






Next is cleaning the inside from the 20 years of stuck dirt. Deleting the sidemakers and smoothing it all out.
