Cheers, cool look forward to seeing yours. You detailing or cleaning it properly?!

I haven't painted any bolts lol but bought some touch up paint today, will sort out the towing eye and a couple of scratches

Lol the building trade ran out of money! They put lighting in too and it fcuking rotted away as you might expect.

That's not actually my space, just where I park the bike and the pug, so if my space was officially there I'd be complaining.

brings back so many memories, had a 1.6gti in the same colour for my first car. had leather and the 1.9 wheels aswell. surprisingly mine looked in better nick than when you bought yours. but it was 2002 and it only had 66k on. i cant go back though as i dont wanna ruin the fond and breakdown memories. lol

Mines all finished now, need to MOT it and then await insurance renewal in Nov. Good times.

blame architectural aesthics, looks like a possible retaining wall, so enclosing it would look very clumsy so just the immitation canopy to add design flair.
