The gti had a few problems so I sold it on and bort my dads Jetta off him, got that back on the road, drove it for a week and missed a mk3 so swapped it back for the good old 1.6 :)

Put the gti grill on the 1.6 and bort some new wheels  B)

Started the first step towards my bigger brake setup

Bort a set of 16v mk2 hubs

(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h364/murrayminf/9016d4ed-f471-4341-8dab-891f9e4222f8.jpg)

The ball joints and rod ends where still on and looked like the one the factory put on 20 old years ago. But the wheel bearings feel nice and smooth

So took them to work today and a very strong work collouge with a big hammer and the gas bottles and get the rod ends and ball joints off  :cool:

Then cleaned them all up with a wire wheel

(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h364/murrayminf/c7391402-5219-47ac-8fd6-bdcc5b72c2fe.jpg)

Then sprayed then with some hammerite,

Both done  :cool:

Well today the sun is out!!!! So I spent some quality time with my car  . First off took out the front mk4 seats and modded the rear mounts so now I can move them back and forward! Next, a year after o bort a set of black front carpets I finally put them in. After that I gave all the carpet a fecking good hoovering. After that's I attacked the whole inside of the car with dash/interior cleaner, then hoovered the seats and put them back in. Then cleaned all the shut edges. Cleaned the wheels then the outside of the car and then cleaned all the glass. After all that drove it down the road and has a bit of a selfwhore fest

Pics!
My sisters dog making the seats hairy!

Soo I finally lowered it today, what a bloody game that was!! Only took me 5 hours  :whistle:. Mostly due to my own f**k ups lol.

Drove it down the road and back. And it sounded horrible!! Knocking noises, and metal on metal knocks and bangs. I thort I'd killed my car lol. So parked it back up and found that I'd missed two spacers out of the rear coilovers  :embarrassed:. Soo had to take the rears off again and rebuild them with that in, drove it down the road again, the back was lovely now, but still MAJOR knocking from the front. So parked up again, lifted the bonnet, I forgot to tighten the top mounts  :embarrassed:  so did them out and now it drives smooth. Can't believe I made soo many rookie mistakes. Just a bad day I quess.

Here's how it's sitting now
