Title: Some TLC...
Post by: phope on 26 January 2011, 19:01

GTI has been in the garage getting some well deserved TLC

New Mintex discs pads & handbrake cable - all were well past their best.

Passenger window mechanism has been replaced.

Jetex system with no centre silencer...can't wait to hear   :cool:

Full bonnet respray to fix all the stone chips/rust spots, with the wing edges, lower doors and rear panel seeing some paint as well, with a machine polish of the car as well.

My pal is the painter at his father's garage and has done a stunning job of the paintwork and preparation...if not of setting his camera date and time  :grin:

Hopefully ready for the MOT at the end of February, and then I'll make a start of cleaning up the engine bay, and getting some minor electrical gremlins fixed
