So We bought this car from Gympie In February as my girlfriend was having nothing but issues with her old car and she still wanted something sporty, I knew B6s and BPs were good and reliable because I could never break my TX3s I had, so This was the only auto I could find... Here are some pics from when we got it.

First thing we did was buy new springs and shocks to fix the ride height. I swapped her my newly restored ENKEI LM8s and I got her Axis OGs...

I got A tone of parts for it The other week. sold most of the parts but kept a hard top and a genuine Roadster strut brace.
so now I'm sanding it all down and painting it in fresh white as original spec with the hard top.

This afternoon I pulled the seat out to clean all the carpets and redye the rear shelf carpet. As I was cleaning it all out I found an old Japanese film which I'm getting developed and also discovered it has speakers in the seats so I wired them in and tidied all the speaker wires... nothing stupid. Just a nice clean MK1

Nice work saving an NA and showing it some love.

No mucking around here. Nice work! I'm fascinated by the Japanese roll of film discovery! Let us know what photos develop...

So with Saturday working on the Mazda. I got the hard top back to gel coat and primed. the front bar primed, as well as the whole car whizzed over with 320 and scotch brighting.

You a painter? That looks like a proper booth.

My friend owns a panel shop. makes it handy I guess.

UPDATE:

Ive painted the car and hardtop and got the window refitted. Start putting it together tomorrow.

Looking good!

Nice progress! Keep it up

Put it together today. Shes now driving at again. taking a run out on the weekend but other then that it perfect.

I wish I could do a paint job like that.
That licence plate is unreadable.
