Recently my build threads have taken a bit of a hit, but this year i want to try and detail customers cars as much as possible, so Davids Silver Mk1b that has come in for the full Woodsport treatment is the perfect candidate to showcase exactly what we do and how a car can be brought from a poor condition right up to show standard.

The car as we got it this morning, at first glance it looks pretty good.



A full day of stripping has highlighted a few issues.... some rot on the offside sill....



And a little worse on the nearside, but totally solid everywhere else....



Some small dents pepper the car in various places, these will all be tackled with the respray.





General paint finish is poor, very orange peely from previous spray work....



It's our attention to detail that will mean the final finish will be perfect.

The windscreen is chipped in various places and will be replaced...



The car is getting my wide archs fitted, running the gorgeous Borbet As we all love and a stonking VVti 1mzfe engine swap.

How it looks after Day 1....



It will also get the TB trademark black roof.

This year our bodyshop will be back into full swing with various projects coming in.
