So today has been a prductive day and i have had some really good news, firstly i was asked by college to bring my car in to fit the new discs as they had an open day and wanted myself and Shoozy to fit the new breaks whilst new peeps where looking around. Not only this but they also said that they had invited a load of garage techs and boss to come and see what the college and pupils are like in the potential to take some of us on for jobs or apprenticships. Well the basic of it is that a garage in Louth who are VW performance specialist where very impressed with my car and haow much we knew about the vw side of stuff that they have asked for me and Shoozy to come and work for them for a month  :grin: :grin:
Before we knew it we had been chatting about my car and what there set up is like etc etc and 45 mins had passed, if left to it i think we would have been there all night  :grin: They even said that one of the guys who works for them use to have a mk2 Limited which apparently was the R32 of those days, 16v G60 syncro running 280bhp and was very very rare, also said that they have sold it now for 14K :shocked:
Anyway i aswell as Shoozy are very very happy chaps, roll on Feb  :grin: :grin:
Back to the pics now, basically we managed to fully valet my car today and fit the new front breaks but not the rears as didnt have time :sad:. So i will let the pics tell their own story but very happy with them, o yeah ignore my mates car (Chaved Almera) Only in there as we valeted his car too.








This is for Liam  :grin: :grin:






Added a few decals to make it stand out a little.
One of these on each side of the car

Just one of these


Ok and now to the breaks.
Old disc where shot as you can see


New ones  :grin: Shiny



Shoozy helping fit the otherside, that is how he normally looks by the way  :laugh: :laugh:



With the wheels back on, you can sort of make them out  :smiley:




Going to do the rear breaks on Thursday when we are in the workshop all day so will post more pics up then.
Hope you like the progress  :grin: And thanks Shoozy for your help mate, shame that bloody caliper bolt snapped and putting us back a bit on time otherwise the rears would have got done  :smiley:
your welcome mate,all about the dubs init. hopefully il b able to get some money together so i can atleast get my overweight dub on the road haha, pete was hanging about and noticed the snaped bolt,to that he said "get the blue bottles out and have you got a lighter?" lol, basicaly heated up the caliper with a blow torch to heat up the snaped part and managed to pull it out b4 it cooled down.

and another thing,cheers for that pic coment mate, Im a looker i am hahaha rofl! :laugh:
