Golf Gti Mk3 - Work Horse

[stow1985]

Little tip to save so much time and frustration when the ladder clamps get bent is get some threaded bar or studding and bolt it through the roofrack. Then the ladder just goes on the rack and you just spin the top of the clamps on.

interesting...altho spinning the top on and off could be a pain in the rear end too...I might (might) be putting the desmo rack back on, if so the I only need straps to hold the ladder on...much quicker!

ps...are you a secret window cleaner? 

I've personally never found an issue and me and my mate always said it was the best thing ever done on the car.

What's the difference with the Denso rack then?

Yeah mate just sold a huge round. Had a water fed pole set up in the back of the MK4. was awesome. Now just got a small round whoch pays the bills. 4 days a month or 3 long days. Pays car insurance,  phone and MOT tax etc.

The thought in the morning of getting up and doing it is so hard but after im out and doing it trad I just crack on.

Flocking looks awesome bud! Is it expensive to have done?

Desmo rack is like a cage, so it gives the ladder something to but up against.

Got any pics of your water fed poll set up...i've been uming and ering about it for years. but I would like to do a water fed poll boot build.

 I don't think its expensive, compared towhat other people do on here.

Good to know of a fellow tradesman on here

Okay I see. Sounds good.

Here's my version of your photo.


I have a couple of minor ones. We had outlets on the bumper:


The tank was in the boot:



Didn't have many pictures for some reason. Had the pump in the spare wheel well and the controller just behind the tank so was right there as you opened the boot. We just kept the space saver strapped beside the tank.

Worked absolutely fine and not a single leak. Had a false floor along the whole stretch including where the rear sests were. We used s crap hose reel though just to start.  Never once let us down or leaked though!

Oh mate I love it 

How many jobs can you get out of tank that big?

That what I was thinking, putting pump in spare wheel well, was going to mount the hose reel on the boot and relocate the number plate to the roof rack.

Do you produce your own water or buy it?

Very happy with the outcome, has a nice feeling sitting inside there now...bit slow on the progress front, but here's up to date pics:
