    Painting interior a crazy colour !

    My project is moving a little slower than i ideally wanted it to,

    However on tuesday night me and Adam finally managed to get the engine bay painted !

    And i wanted to show it off a little and tart it about as im very happy !

    Its taken a lot of work, especially the level of welding that i did not forsee when buying the car, I've had to repair inner wings, strut tops etc etc,

    I've managed to make some improvements tho, i've welded the aircon holes up and attempted a 'semi' tub rather than a full tub, removing the seams in the arch for extra lock and all that Jazz but im very happy with the final result .

    When i bought the car,



    Pre Paint



    And after paint ! thanks to Adam







    I know that haters are guna hate, but i dont care !

    I drive a diesel golf as a daily and i wanted my Drift car to be loud and proud

    I still need to finish a little interior welding but once i've done that I'll be getting adam back up to lay the colour down for the interior 'Adam S' on here btw

    Only thing I would say about painting the interior a bright colour is the constant reflections on the windscreen can really hamper your vision.
