Cheers.


Main reason is it actually really pissed off one of my bosses.

Soo not much to report really.

Cleaned up the bay a bit.

Re-routed my running light wires, as I ran out of heatshrink and am impatient I Scotchlock and taped it neatly. I ripped that off, soldered and heat shrinked and have run it neatly with the headlight wiring. It actually goes into the headlights as I didn't want to splice into the other looms.

I stuck the two wires in a drill though and slowly twisted them together so that they look as sexy as me.

I plan now to relay the headlights, and thanks to Chris and Shauns project threads and their neat relay boxes I want one for the headlights and the horn which I plan to buy Wednesday.

I also am gonna grab some silver and black Hammerite and sort out the alternators and the like as Shauns are awesome.

A huge mass of complication. 

My dads fairly confident in making the box. 

Having an engineering background helps.

Took my really grubby alternator off, wire brushed and it came out like this:



Thought, why bother painting it? It looks really nice.

So I painted it? 

Sometimes I don't even understand why I do things.



Few bits I took off will go silver.

Needs another coat.

You painted it because it would have been a pain in the arse cleaning it again once it's started corroding.

Nice work btw, need to do this to mine in the near future, some little winter projects.

Yeah think so. 

Cheers, next up is the battery tray, then starter.

Then it's wiring which for some reason I am dreading and yet I actually quite like wiring.

Sad times, won't be using this in April I don't think. 

Be buying a 1.0l Polo Coupe, no idea how anyone at the age of 18 can get insured on anything more.

It's gonna be about £1800. Might look at the 1.3's, my brothers first car actually.

We're moving and this Golf will get chucked into a shed and I'll be doing a whole load more work on it and it will finally come out one day. If not my sister will have it.
