It has been matt blacked
Few more parts that were acquired:
22mm master cylinder
solid front engine mount
replacement pcv hose and mk4 pas pulley
powerflex bushes for the rear beam and front subframe
1.8t 90amp alternator
Also got new ball joints, fuel pump and a vw vr splitter. and also a vr6 rad, which is A LOT bigger than my 1.4 one lol.
Hoping to get it done in the next couple weeks. dont really put the time in tbh. out pretty much every nite or with the missus.
cheers
