Removed a broken starter motor in the pouring rain in the Coop car park.

fixed window regulators (which turned out to have just lost grip on the window not snaped, thought it was weird that the plastic ones laster ten years but the metal ones only lasted two :D )

went to finishe spraying my bumper, word of advice, never use halfords mixed paint. the spray nozzle is sh!te, doesnt spray, it spits.

my mate couldnt understand why his was finishing sh!te but mine was coming out good, was because he was using halfords mix (for when they dont have your colour on the shelf/in store) and i was using vw touch up. decided ide give it one or two more coats of paint using some halfords stuff i got my mate to grab us while he was at work. compleatle f*cked what was a reasonably good paint job up. gonna go buy a vw rattle can next week and redo it with that and hope i get as good results as i did before i used the crappy halfords stuff.

Spent most of the weekend adapting my dashboard to take a Double Din CD/DVD/Sat Nav unit. Took most of the weekend to get it sorted. Pics in the mark 3 section if anyone is interested  :wink:
