Unfortunately, my "old" WIP of the Golf Mk. II was lost, so here it is again.
I owned a Golf Mk. II myself when I was 18 - my very first car and what a reliable one.
So heres the progress so far:

Re: VW Golf Mk. II
Somehow I knew that this was coming: The bumpers dont fit at all and you have to use loads of putty. On the other hand, thats a good time to try my new MrHobby Putty - works good so far. There are loads of flashes and dents in the plastic.

Re: VW Golf Mk. II
After several tries to fit the rear bumper (including sanding, trimming, plastic sheet, more sanding, glueing, and of course sanding and trimming), I still reached no result to my hapiness. Initially, I didnt want to go that way, but in this case, theres almost no other chance.
Get ready for some putty, the rear bumper will get a new design! I used Revell Plasto putty for the substance and MrHobby putty for the smooth finish.
Stage I (Plasto only)
Stage II (MrHobby putty added)

Re: VW Golf Mk. II
Thanks Kari. Some say the Golf crashed with a chewing gum - and it really looks like that atm. The 2nd coat seems to be dry, now the "fun" begins.

Re: VW Golf Mk. II
Sorry for the late update - the Golf is not forgotten. I found something on the local scrapyard: an oroiginal Golf II wheelcap inlay. Gives a good base!

Re: VW Golf Mk. II
Nice touch! Nice build. Well done!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
