Title: What are we all doing to our motors this weekend?
Post by: drc12369 on 09 November 2012, 19:14: Exactly what it says on the tin, what work are we doing or getting done to our mk3's this weekend?
Mines getting washed n valeted, im fixing the broken glovebox handle, replacing a dash blank, finally putting in a cigarette lighter, fitting new brembo rear brake pads, removing the loose back box heat protector and painting the sills with rust converter.
So what are you guys doing?
