Title: Re: MK2RussRacer - mk2 8v to 20v
Post by: MK2RussRacer on 17 March 2008, 17:41: Spent the day out with the golf again... turns out im just being too picky...

the left headlight alignment is down and the nsf corner of the bumper hangs down... actually not much to fix at all

the wiring issue is doing my brains at the moment got the dashboard out today and found some fool to have messed up loads of the wiring when fitting a chav stereo god knows how they do it..... :sick:

how can u cut through the wires for the heater motor to make a stereo work... :grin:

i think im going to strip the interior out totally... get every last bit out of the car and get a proper cage made and get rid of the sunroof!
