RE: '66 mk2 Resto Rebuild - Vinay-RS - 03-06-2018

Hey man, glad you got this mk1 build going on here. I've loved seeing the updates on the Whatsapp group. It's cool that there are so many parts that came with the car for the rebuild.

RE: '66 mk2 Resto Rebuild - DomMINIque - 03-06-2018

Will carry on posting the pics I've taken up to this point. Got about 100 pictures from the project so still a few to go.

yea it was apparently a complete car, which just needed to assemble.
But we've come across a few pieces which have been missing. Nothing too significant though.

RE: '66 mk2 Resto Rebuild - minatic - 03-07-2018

Just to think this was my car.

Glad its getting restored. Would love to see the end Product.
