How is the splitter holding up anyway? You bought one of those better quality ones didn't you?

I got this one from eBay, it gets almost daily scrapeage and is holding up absolutely fine. It's still early days but i'd say it'll probably last longer than the Eurowagens one :cool:

Cool, I may grab one when I get some spare dosh. I'm using the Anni one at the moment (genuine VW) but it has 2 massive cracks in it. I'll just use it until it snaps though.  :grin:

Love it.  :cool:

You're not too low until you can't get on your drive with a CL splitter and you get stuck on the subframe.  :grin:

Finally a little progress is being made :grin:

I took delivery of a second rocker cover from Khare last weekend. My plan for the next few months is to tidy the bay a little, Khare had already started to polish the cover up so after half an hour or so with my polishing mops it looks like this:



Still a fair amount to be done to it, but it's getting there :smiley:

Also began sanding down wheel number 2, i'm going to go carry on with it in a minute :cool:

Just saw this in the Mk3 section. Is it the mount thats leaking, or something leaking onto the mount? Buggered either way and more jobs to do!  :rolleyes:
