Title: my ears were burning, so here i am
Post by: steveg60cab on 09 September 2006, 19:29
hi guys and gals, big hi from me, i know my name's been mentioned a few times on these boards, and cos huwmk2 reminded me of the site i've only now got to registering, sorry  :embarassed: :grin:

well, car wise, i have a mk1 golf cab g60, all built by myself, the only thing i didn't do was the new hood and put the paint on!!  i have a mk2 rocco scala injection which is a little different; matt black, polished rims, -60mm at the front, no rear spoiler...strange combo but it works!!  i also have a passat gt 16v - the hack!!

work wise...i refurbish alloy wheels for a living, and have been known to do the odd bit of mirror polishing  :cool:

the only pics of the cars is the golf at the moment, so here's a couple of those -

neaty...inlet manifold???  :undecided:

mart20v...trust me, i only enjoy my job when i see the customers' faces when they pick up their stuff, i wish i had the time to do my own bits.  polishing is a long, dirty, tedious job, but the end result the best feeling :nerd:

 :undecided: I thought that all mark 2's, G60's included, had the throttle body on the drivers side hence that looks like a different inlet manifold, where as mark 1's had it on the other.

^^ nah g60's had it on the right handside follow the pipes from the airbox and it all makes sense!
