Well shes all ready for the ICCCR, just a quick rub over with an oil rag and were off!
Theres some imperfections in the paint, which Im rather pissed off about but it will do for now.

Re: My MK1 BX 19 DTR Saloon
You should be proud. I'm pretty jealous of your garage too.

Re: My MK1 BX 19 DTR Saloon
Seems I cant keep out of this one, keep wheeling out the garage to put yet another coat of super resin on it , any local trips to friends and family see the Golf left at home and the DTR being used (after I check the weather forecast of course).
All seems well, I need to fit the new throttle cable and fix the stuck trip meter, and need a pair of interior light switches (anyone got any), but overall im delighted!!!
At the ICCCCR I got to meet Richard and Sheila Green who owned DYA from 88-2011, Mrs Green was rather emotional bless her as it was her car and the kids learned to drive in it etc.

Re: My MK1 BX 19 DTR Saloon
Thanks Mick, its the actual interior light switches (turns the courtesy lights on and off) which are on each door post I need, as ones busted and the other needs a tweak to get it to do anything!
