New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Bought my 5 roughly 2 years ago now, had it on the road for 3 months then when I blew the headgasket and realised the sills were like swiss cheese I decided to take her off the road and try and restore it.
What she looked like when I first bought her
Decided to strip the engine and start from scratch
Cut the old sills away and rewelded new ones in including inner sills
Then didn't really touch it for over a year due to work etc. but finally managed to see light at the end of the tunnel lol
Resprayed recently although only got pics in primer so far
I'll hopefully get some more pics soon as the interior is now back in with a new windscreen and the bodykits been refitted
