Plough on, be worth it when its all done! Even if its not the best example you'll still be able to sit back and give yourself a pat on the back.

 

[crezz]

I'm positive it will, the work so far for someone whose learning as they go is excellent.

Just read ALL the thread mate! I'm amazed with it! Awesome, keep it up mate! Look forward to see more !!!

 

[crezz]

cheers mate, it helps alot with good comments like that.....

well etch primed the caddy and then guide coat of primer, reapplied stone chip to bed side walls and also decided not to bother with the bed because its shite so just cleaned up and stone chipped...

so i'll let the pics do the talking

 

[Fl@pper]

[crezz]

cheers mate, tis getting there now, quite a few blemishes butr ive decided to use this as a daily and either do another project mk1 golf but6 actually spend money on it! haha...or invest some more into the beezer

 

[LMJ]

I can only stand back and envy people who spray and do as good'a job as that mate! That's awesome!... Tbh - I didn't think you'd manage to make it look so good, it's better than I'd imagined! Well done mate!

 

[Fl@pper]

[crezz]

[jenk]

Still got stuff to do but I just want it on the road, few bits of welding to be done and then its off for an MOT. Could do with some of your new found skills!

 

[crezz]

meh, no skills mate, just seem to plod along with it, taking far to long for me if im honest, i lose intrest in it then struggel to get it back, then when i do i lose it again..projects are too long a wait!

 

[orangemuffin]

i may replace my bezza with a caddy in september if i can find a decent one with the diesel still in it.
