Alva - New engine and more paint problems
Amber_Nunny replied to Amber_Nunny's topic in Member's Cars
The engines coming along good, gearbox and everything is back on, just need to put it back in the car now Wrist is a pain. Damaged my tendons which is 6 weeks healing minimum I can't bend all my fingers or take any sort of weight on my hand so I'm pretty useless at the minute. -

I did consider it but I've managed to find a cover now anyway Ah fair enough, literally up the road then You'll be seeing them both on the drive for a while now as I've sprained/fractured my wrist so no driving for me Seriously? There's normally loads! What specifically are you looking for? -

Yeah I've seen one on eBay for £350, so I think just finding a cover might be the best option. I'm really not planning on driving Alva too much apart from to and from shows so I'm not too worried about the airbag -
Love raven blue gti's!

Looking good I've got a big love for the schmidts

Yeah I thought it was a good find bearing in mind that they were only released at the start of the year. I think that finding a cover is going to be difficult though... Thanks Where do you live and what do you drive? -

So its been a very long time since I've been able to update Alva! Yesterday she came home from the bodyshop and I can now show you all the work she's had done And the finished Alva... And back home! She's still got a long way to go, but at least bodywork wise she's pretty much there. So a list of the things which she's had done: Full exterior respray in Candy White with extra lacquer Sills straightened and detextured Door lines smoothed out Aerial removed Mk5 boot handle C pillar trim holes removing Door shuts and insides of the doors repainted Bumper resmoothed Arches rolled All interior plastics resprayed as well as a few bits for the engine I just now can't wait to get her back together and put the engine in! -
Definitely my boyfriends then He'll be dead chuffed lol

Where did you see this and what colour was it?

As above, this was an amazing Lupo. It's a shame to see him go but I'm sure your new project will be just as good if not better!
