Pretty much, yeah. Still it did the job so I can enter the Autosolo and then get it stipped down for the attack of the grinder and welder.

Advisories:

* Offside CV boot perished but not split
* Handbrake barely passable (no surprise there then, get this with every MKII I have ever put through an MOT).
* Exhaust loud (Er yup!)
* Exhaust rubbers perished
* Oil Leak (nope, just got it everywhere with the recent tinkerings).
* Split windscreen wiper

That's it.

All paperwork submitted for the Autosolo, pretty excited about it as it'll be nice to do something competitive despite the car probably being the slowest in class not even taking into account the rubbish driver.

Just looked up the entry list here:

and I'll be one of 4 Golf GTI's in Class F. I bet they're all 2.0 16v's though.
