Few updates, after a wash:


Then some shiny bits arrived:

Got stuck on the ramp and had no time left at work to raise it so drove 20 miles like this..




It's now been raised, to max height on the rear which is still far too low haha, nevermind!

Looking better mate, but that rear end is way to low  :sad:

Get that bottom slat of the grill colour coded too  :wink:

Yeah lower part of the grille will be painted same time as the door, and remembering I have raised it since that phoo, but yes still sits too low for my liking but swear down its maxed.. May be wrong shocks or something, who knows. Need to do tracking this Saturday if Im working too..

In it's day I would have said the colour was pap, but now it's refreshing.  :cool:

Wheels make the car look soooooooo much better, Loving the reverse rake in the pictures, looks like you've got something dodgy in the back.  :grin:

Mk1 rear coils would do that.

I hate this time of year. How big are the speedbumps down your road?

The speed bumps by me stents dive but big enough to scrape on :( here's a pic, excuse the horrific passenger door... Also put various trim back on inside after fiddling with wires.. Also started cleaning the engine bat. Bought a new battery today now fitted and service bits which il do once I get some time, don't think they'll be any major updates this month as I'm so low on money.. Want to get new door sorted, and still got electric windows to fit and front GTI door cards.. Oh also fitted a fog blank as I was missing one.. Anyone got ideas for wiring the windows? I got the switches and door loom ect but no loom for in the car so going to be doing this myself, anyone know what colours are what and how about doing this, any help appreciated!
