Cheers lads!

My girlfriend bought me a G60 flywheel from VW's TPS for my birthday :party!: now going to order stage 1 black diamond clutch. What radiators do people find best to run on these 20vt conversions?

Wheels split, dishes polished, centres painted white and gold bolts, just gotta decide on some centre badges now!

Cheers bud, decided to go and have a chat with the owner of a local workshop at the weekend, he showed me some of the mk2 Golf BAM conversions they were doing and had a good chat about what I want from the car, so will be dropping he car off there next month. The quality of their work is amazing, can't wait for it to be finished now already :grin:

Lately have just been hoarding parts again, 4 pot Brembo front brakes off my friends Cupra R, full set of Vibra Technics mounts, Jetex 16v full stainless system at the weekend and picked up a a green tint boot hatch glass, now have all green tinted windows, have a 'double tinted' windscreen which is pretty cool :afro:

Spent a couple of hours on the golf this weekend :) finally starting to look like a car again :afro: first up the plastic that sits under the bonnet was really faded so painted it black looks a lot better now! One hell of a manly bucket



Next up was to fit the new bumper brakets all round, I wasn't planning on replacing this many parts but I figure if I renew as much as I can now then it will save me money in the future,



So next up was sorting the lights, have crystal smoked / red rear lights, carried on that theme through out the car. I want the front end to look mean/moody so I have ordered these lights and smoked crystal side repeaters!





I think the dark lights will contrast well with the white split rims ;) spent most of today swapping over indicators, splitter, fog light brackets etc! 50/50 shot



Grille I have decided to run, all clips intact. My girlfriend gets the awesome job of painting the stripe red :lol:



JOM chrome door catches and new lock pins



This is something I have been wanting to do for a while, covered the crappy plastic trim in fake suede, the same fabric I will be using to cover the whole boot build! :D



After





And lastly il leave these two pics here, starting to look like a car again!
