[bigtoddy]

HI GUYS IM DOING A MK4 RECOVERY TRUCK AND PUTTING THE MK6 FRONT END ON IT.IVE GOT A TOPIC UP FOR THE WELDING THATS BEEN GETTING DONE TO IT SO THOUGHT I WOULD DO A NEW ONE FOR THE CONVERSION. WELL HERES A PIC OF THE VAN AS I GOT IT


IT HAD THE MK5 FRONT END ON IT WHEN I GOT IT BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICER WITH THE MK4 FRONT END ON IT.IM GOING TO BE PUTTING THE MK6 SEATS IN IT ALONG WITH THE WING MIRRORS AND ANYTHING ELSE I CAN SALVAGE

HERES A PIC OF IT WITH THE FRONT END GETTING CUT OFF.


HERES A PIC OF THE VAN WITH THE BONNET AND GRILL AND LIGHTS SITTING IN PLACE.


I WILL BE GETTING MORE DONE AT THE WEEKEND AND I HOPE THE NEW WINGS HAVE ARRIVED WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK TODAY

rite guys got a bit more done on the van today.ive got the wings cut and welded in place.ive decided to fiberglass the swage line along the door so it kind of blends in with the shape of the front wings.ive started to cataloy and fiberglass the wings together.the welding was the hardest part as i didnt want the panels distorting.ive still got the bottom of the mk6 wings to weld on to the bottom of the mk4 wings and this is to allow the bumper to line up perfectly with the wings.im also trying to keep the mk6 bonnet catch arangement but it means lowering the radiator.but ive got most of the hard work done. its getting painted either imperial blue or frozen white.anyway heres some more update pics





and this is me taking the doner vehicle to the scrappy today.

got some more done today.had the painter in today looking at the shell and ive got a bit more sanding to do.im going to paint the sides of the bed the same as the cab,had bother getting the bumper sitting rite so ended up hitting the front panel with a big hammer so the bumper would sit back a bit mote.ive smoothed the bonnet badge so there isnt a buldge behind the bonnet bra.heres some pics of it as its going threw the stages before getting painted.
