[intuned]

well, i wanted to make a replica of my golf since a long time so here it is!

the car is a 1993, mk3 golf 2 doors with a couple of goodies...

here's some pics for reference








and now, the work!

i bought this kit



but the problem is.... it's a 4 doors

so time to take the dremel out!

original body







the red lines shows where i have to cut



once it's done

















some putty work. i shaved the line all around on the bumpers and the door mouldings since i don't have it on mine. it's plain







and i bought that kit too for the wheels since it's the closer i can get that look like the ats cups i have!



merc rims and original rims with the golf kit



and that's it for now! the kit is now drying. i will start to sand it tonight!

Cool stuff, i always like seeing v-dubs as im an owner myself. I also have a 4 to 2 door conversion with the r32. Good luck on the build, one thing that you can benefit from is sanding down the back of the rear lights (glueing pin). Makes them look a lot better, instead you see a big slot on the taillights. Keep us posted.

what's the problem with the front panel line?? i can't see it at the moment

sweet VW, I have a couple of those models, one I'm gonna keep 4 door, and the other is going to be a 2 door.

Nice work so far, couldn't find any Cups in 1/24 scale? Coulda sworn I saw some a while back, but oh well.

Very clean mk3 btw, someday I'll find a good 4 door around here.

The rear of the front door, goes reversed from the way it's facing now. If that makes any sense.

This is what frank means....



Here is mine im working on, i did it a little different than you.
This side got first shot of primer to see the flaws.


Other side, first layer of 2 part epoxy.



Keep us posted and good luck.

Very cool! Good luck with this project. I'd love to do a replica of my car, but there aren't any kits of it...

You're going to do it good, but remember: don't do it too fast, calm is the prize of "win" xD
