Battery tray from the stealers, obsolete.  :rolleyes:

Will be doing what everyone said after all.  :grin:

It's painted but I can't see it lasting long without coming through.

Stickers, some like 'em some don't. One more to come.






30 days and I will be driving it again, perminently.  :cool:

Where all my moneys went.

Soo the Golf I wanted to nick bits of was cubed.

HOWEVER she told me she had another Golf coming in but thinks it's a MK4.

We were out and dad pulls out of a side road, me in the passenger seat, I see a MK3 Twilight Violet on a pick up truck, the truck belonging to the local scrappies.

Figured it was a 1.8 but was on 13" steels and was a CL. Quick DVLA reg check on my phone and it's the same engine as mine.  :cool:

Gonna grab the manifold, down pipe and back box, engine covers, few bits of interior trim and some induction pipes. Thinking about the throttle body cause the one on my car is off a 1.4 Polo and wondering if this is the cause of lumpy idle.

Soo if anyone wants anything off the car lemme know while I'm there.

Gotta go bank first, lost my wallet like a twit. :rolleyes:


On other note, car is running, other then idle, absolutely perfectly, power for a 1.6 is a lot really, it's not a quick car but it's a 1.6! Really smooth, now it's raised up a bit it handles brilliantly, back probably could come down a bit but wow. :cool:

No more passenger wheel flopping about with the knackered top mount. :grin:

Oil light came on again apparently.

FML.

Will have to take it to work/college and pressure test it. Hoping it's the switch tbh.

Also just been given a T4 Transporter hightop with a messed up head and possible headgasket.  :cool:

Surely college has an oil pressure gauge?
