Have the doors been welded or just filled??

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (172 kit plus smoothing)

Standard rubber one mate. The doors have been welded on the inside and p/40 then fillered.

Ah cool.

I know a guy that just had his fillered and it sunk after about 4 weeks. Looked comical! He had lines all down the side of the car!!

Tommy its looking good man, its going to be SO smooth, and can't wait to see it painted. Loving how you have relocated the washer jets. Where is the filler cap being located to?(think you said it was being moved).

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (172 kit plus smoothing)
