a little bit of an update!

I have just bought a Quaiife gear nob in nylon, really pleased i found one, as they are quite hard to get hold of!

Also bought a tow strap to add to that real track slaggy look! Should look ace once its on! The car is booked in on the 13th February to have the cage extended, i.e. will be a fully structural cage! also going to have a harness put in so that its alot safer, and should also look the nuts!

After that! I have a visit booked in Down at the one and only TUK customs, as the lads from down there are doing me a favour for ultimate dubs! You will have to wait and see on this one 

Aswell as that also bought some Mk5 r32 dial needles, so cant wait to get them in! The car is currently being stripped of all the interior, roof lining, carpets, and stuff that is no longer needed! So the car will be a true slag soon!

Also got the custom part still being made! will reveal that when it arrives! should be next week! Should look mint aswell as ive never seen this done before!

Lots to do in so little time, as the show is not far away!

Update with pix soon!

Ok....

Not updated you all in a while, but there are some very exciting times in store this month! As i mentioned that the boys from TUK customs were going to sort out my car for me, by this i mean that they are going to spray the whole of the inside of my car which is now completely stripped in piano gloss black!



Aswell as the inside being done in gloss black, i am putting a new 5th r32 wheel in black in the wheel well, and positioning the nitrous bottle to the left, and hopefully getting a full dousing system installed with a nice large red fire extinguisher on the right side of the wheel well!

They are also going to spray my roll cage in yellow, which is being fully extended next week, with a harness bar. And yes you did read that..... YELLOW . The black on yellow will look mint! matching the omp harnesses and steering wheel. not to mention the 6 pots!!!

Big month, big changes! I will update when i can!

Well i cannot actually believe it!

There really is a first time for everything! I bought a set of carbon fibre mirrors for a mk4 golf off ebay around 10 weeks ago! They arrived yesterday only to be completely useless! Basically the problems occured around 5 weeks ago when the parcel was on parcel forces tracking system, and it arrived at the wrong address, so i thought sh!t, ive lost my product here. so i emailed the guy back and said mate whats going on? So he said he would send another and it would be here in 1 week tops!


So......i gave him the benefit of the doubt, and waited! 5 weeks on. i.e. yesterday, they arrived! Only to find they were bloody useless, one was a massive mirror, and one was small! I was fooking mad to say the least! I have emailed him all morning! He replied with, " if you had a high IQ you would see on the picture that one is large and one is small"

 

I replied, bolloocks! On the advert it clearly stated for a GOLF MK4 , So i dont care what it showed in the picture, (the picture was basically showing that they did them for other cars like lupos and stuff. So i replied with dont you f**kin dare! I have paid £100 for these mirrors give me bloody money back!!!!

He isnt doing? I have read his 8 bad reviews and they are all about these mirrors, everyone seems to have the same story, fake tracking numbers, wrong sized mirrors, waiting 35 days etc etc! I am gutted to say the least! I have emailed paypal and put in a dispute but i got an email saying that this dipsute was nothing to do with them?

This is the guy!!! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!

well.. there were points where i thought eventually if i ever sell the car, i could put it back to normal! Yet over the last few mods its now impossible to ever go back to normal! 

I have now come to the point where i will never sell this car!

1. i would lose a sh!t load of money
2. and 2, sounds weird, but i would lose a piece of me, as ive invested everything i have and do into this car!

Anyway... this weekend was a big weekend of work! Full cage work, extended, now fully track legit, and harness bar installed! Aswell as that a nice tow strap on the front! Which i think is a great track feature! Some might not like it but nm.

to be honest, these photos i find quite shocking, as ive never seen a mk4 interior in this state before, other than that, it was my bloody car

But it has to be done! all in preperation for next saturdays big spray job, where the cage is going yellow (match the brakes) and the inside is going gloss black!

ok..... this one has been on the cards for a while!

Ok guys

those who follow this build thread will know that the car was booked in for some major work this weekend! And wow has it changed the car! Some might like, some might not! I BLOODY LOVE IT!

I have quickly uploaded a couple of pix as i dont have time at the moment to upload them all! But these should give you a good taste! It took overall 14hours of work! It was sikkens pain which was around £360 a litre! So not cheap lol!

You can just about see the R-line bumper on some of the photos, that got fitted properly today with lower black panel put on aswell! so will get some pix up of that this week hopefully as it looks beautiful!  I have about a 1,000 photos from the day so i will upload all when i find the time! The R-line looks sexual!!

Anyway feedback much appreciated!

Ok.......

Those who have been following the build will know i had the magazine feature last week! So i have hit one goal that i wanted to achieve! My next is to really really make this golf into a track monster!

I am picking up my new VAG tonight, which is a 2004 audi a4 sport 1.8t, with the S-pack and full leather interior! Mint car honestly!

I have bought this new VAG for 2 reasons! One of which is so i can trailer the golf to tracks and shows! As it will be soon a bit too tracky to drive on the road! And also because i need a comfier and quieter car to get to work in! 


So stay tuned! will post some pix of the new A4 as soon as i can! But no too many! As this thread is about golfy! and boy is he going to look mean by the end of this year!
