Yeah I'll see if he and his mate Simon can help me out once I've cleaned it all up and I'm happy the captive nut and stuff in the floor is OK before covering it over. I suppose on the upside it's still open so I can see how good the repair is rather than finding a welded plate and wondering what horrors lurk beneath. It's just a bit of a nasty surprise really.

Don't be such a bloody drama queen  :tongue:

A nut's spun, someone's repaired it, but they didn't finish up properly.

You might have tried dropping the subframe at some point in the next year and spun that nut and that would have been a lot more annoying.

In case anyone missed the thread in the trackday section, I bought a cheap (£22) video camera to use in the Golf. The following is the first attempt at mounting it in the Golf, the dash the chosen location.
