Cool, you looked so happy when you were in the shop, bet you can't wait to go out in her.

[robz]

lol,
made my bloody week it has!
failed on headlight adjustment and wiper blades - but they were done straight away and passed!
larry is gonna get some driving tonight!!
lol

[robz]

well just brilliant!
my clutch release bearing went last night!!
up the steepest hill ever!
it wasnt slipping though?
but i guess if the release bearing has gone it will be a new clutch!
things just aint working for me at the minute!

[robz]

right then -
a while since i updated...
done a few things since i last posted!!
the new stretched tyres on the back,
seat welded up,
done a bit of custom phone holder in the drivers door pocket which i'll get the photos up on here off my phone later when o2 sort my email out, lol!
and now thinking of putting some striping on as i did a bit of a paper prototype earlier and i quite like the idea!
again, photos as soon as o2 sort me out!
new clutch after the push rod had punched a hole through the pressure plate, lol,
really cool dtm exhaust to go on in a few weeks with any luck!!
then all i need is a lc5p dusty mauve wing or get one sprayed up and then it'll be ready for show season next year!! cant wait!!
then once this is all done i think me and ste in his mk2 are gonna go off in the hills for a photo session!!
so may not update again for a few weeks till im done with all this stuff!!
and..... i love my mk3.... its a deffo keeper

Take your wing off and take it up to Brown edge garage in buxton.

Quoted my younger brother £35 to paint his replacement.......does a good job too, did some work on my 3 andit looked mint 

[robz]

that might have to be done in january!!
waiting for a cheap one to come round on the bay then will get it sprayed!!
your a wealth of knowledge today m8!
james has emailed me back - sent him a few ideas and pics and he said this -

"By all means email pics. Sure i can wipe arses while fitting vinyl..... i think.."
 couldnt help laughing at that!!

[Andy-H]

 yeah, his missus is having their first kid next week so he'll be up to his eyeballs in nappies 

He's a funny guy but bl00dy good at what he does. Did the rear tints in the Mk3 for me 

[robz]

i said the same to him!!
nappy happiness
cheers though buddy!!!
hows the rado??

[Andy-H]

Rado is coming on slowly mate,

Will be updating the project thread soon. Going down to my brothers garage and putting it on the ramps next Tuesday for the following.

Full stainless Milltek

Front discs and pads

Replacing both front fog lights (if they arrive in time)

Oil and antifreeze change.

Love it though Mate, still haven't got bored of the spoiler going up & down  Plus the fact that most of the people round here have never heard of one and don't know what it is 

[robz]

great  aint it!!
its worry though when you realise that your looking behind you when your giving it some just to see the spoiler go up
lol...
will wait eagerly for the update!!
do miss mine!!
when i was going through chapel one time there was a boy racer corsa right up my chuff, so i put the spoiler up and he overtook me and then got pulled over by a plod up ahead
pure entertainment without even breaking the law!!
its looking good from your sig pic!
