Re: BBM MK2 - Daily goes in for another small resto...popped a core plug

thanks but just sold 2 sets of mk1 TT seats :grin: Got the highline heated leather in mine. Im after some ultraviolet cloth recaros.

Had the car ready for inters but looks like ill be needing a new engine. Popped a core plug in heavy traffic, overheated the lot! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Quick fix would be to swap another 8v in within a few hours OR find a donor mk3 ABF for a proper engine :smiley: :wink: :angry:

Anyone want an inters ticket let me know!

Been there and done that meself, punctured it followed by using an oil seal remover to pull it :grin:

Was a bastard though - getting face pissed with coolant dregs and whatnot and having to drop shafts and everything off ugggg

yeh was a driveshaft drop job. Just waiting for something else to mess up now  :rolleyes:

Made it to inters :smiley:
Too hot to take pictures so here is one of my half ass'd pics



Also picked up some decent MJ retrimmed door cards at the show. My rallye cards might just end up in the bin :sick:

Still lots to do:
Rear axel bushes (OEM)
RS's need to be polished/built.
Ride height issues
Also looking for a set of mint black wing mirror casings
