A very quick reply as I haven't updated for a long time...

I've finally had the braided lines fitted, owned 4 of them for about 3 years now so thought I'd better get them on...





Also got some bolt covers for when I finally get the wheels on



and speaking of the wheels, one is sanded down ready to paint when I have some spare time

yeah still going mate, it really bugs me keep seeing the finished one every time I go in the shed so I'll have to get them done ASAP. Just not had a great deal of spare time due to doing a LOT of work on the house and trying to pay my debts off before the next little one arrives in the new year.

Re: Wazzzer's 1.8T... 2 wheels done, big reveal 2moro...

wheel has now been painted, had some bad reaction with the lacquer on a couple of parts due to the cold weather so they required some more paint

Picking it up 2moro so I should have an idea of how well it went once the masking tape comes off.



I've also fitted my Forge actuator. Feels like a totally different car now, no lag and bags of boost. No pics of this I'm afraid as it didn't go exactly to plan  :lipsrsealed:

Anyways I'll be pushing to get the wheels done before the new year so keep looking back
