        done a bit more under the car still a hell of a lot more underseal to clean off but did a bit of painting instead of scraping for a change , will be all white when done
        the prop needs to be cleaned up now as it looks like crap its never ending

          Getting the underseal off is the worst job ever,most nights after work for about 2 months scrapping it off the mk1 its worth it in the end as you know just what under there

                pulled of some more underseal and found this hole going into the sill should it have a rubber bug over it?

                        trial fit of new group 4 body kit ,pulled off the old kit and will have to weld up the old rivit holes before i drill for the new ones as there a bit bigger.
                        going to try this with some copper plate at the back and plug weld them up.
